Pet Concerns and Wellness - A Natural Perspective
There is growing fear and genuine concern among many pet owners about the ever-expanding vaccination schedules for dogs and cats.
Our daughter is collecting a new addition to the family this week—a Maltese/Shih Tzu puppy—and we are all very much looking forward to welcoming her. Naturally, the topic of vaccination arose, particularly as puppies cannot legally be released or sold without meeting mandatory vaccination requirements.
What many pet owners are unaware of is that veterinarians do not distinguish between small and large animals when administering vaccines. All puppies receive the same dose, regardless of size or weight.
According to TruthSeekers USA:
“All animals receive the same dose of vaccines regardless of their size. A 5-lb cat is given the same amount as a 100-lb dog. Veterinarians are pleading with government to change this.”
To confirm whether this also applied in Australia, I contacted several veterinarians. Each confirmed that there is indeed only one standard dose for both small and large dogs. All expressed concern and disagreement with this policy, yet stated they have no option but to administer the full dose or risk de-registration.
As a retired Professor of Health Science, and having worked as a clinical herbalist, homeopath, and nutritionist for over 40 years, I practice, follow and teach a fundamental principle of medicine:
“It is the size of the dose that makes it a remedy or a poison.”
Treating the patient as an individual—and matching dosage to the size, weight, and unique needs of that individual—is essential for optimal health outcomes. Blindly following protocols without individual consideration contradicts basic biological and clinical principles.
In biological law, herbal pharmacology, and nutritional science, this approach is universally accepted. It aligns with another well-known law of nature:
“Anything in excess is opposed to nature.”
In other words, a dose that is mismatched to the individual’s size and requirements may be harmful.
Another concern for many pet owners is the emerging use of mRNA technology—previously seen in COVID vaccines—which is now being introduced into new human and animal vaccines in the United States. Given that vaccine protocols are largely driven by multinational pharmaceutical companies, it is reasonable to expect that Australia may follow suit. In this context, I understand why pet owners feel uneasy and believe their concerns are valid.
As a naturopath, I have supervised tens of thousands of detoxification and revitalisation programs for humans with excellent outcomes. All living creatures that share similar biological systems—liver, kidneys, intestines, spleen, brain, heart, circulatory, nervous, respiratory and lymphatic systems—respond in comparable ways when supported with appropriate nutrients, herbs, or homeopathic remedies at the correct dose.
To support our new puppy, I have organised a pre- and post-vaccination program, to be used only until an antibody ‘titre test’ confirms that sufficient immunity has been established and further vaccination is unnecessary.
The pre-vaccination phase supports the body with nutrients to maximise health and resilience in preparation for a biological stressor. The post-vaccination phase assists with gentle, safe detoxification following exposure to any excess or potentially toxic substance.
For those who are interested, I have practical and positive ideas that may help your pets not only survive, but truly thrive—naturally, more economically, and with far less fear than is so common in our increasingly over-medicated world.
