Friends,
Has your vet been pressuring you to get your pet vaccinated against rabies? Many in our Healthy American family are alarmed at the sudden INCREASE in the push for (fake, phony, fraudulent and UNNECESSARY) rabies shots. So many have emailed asking me if they can get an exemption for their pet. I don’t know about you, but I will do whatever I can to keep my pets healthy.
Imagine: the same vaccine dose is given to an animal whether it weighs 9 pounds or 90 pounds! What kind of "science" is that? Especially since I can't even get any medicine for my dog unless she undergoes a complete blood panel to make sure she can "tolerate" it! (Note: Teddy is NOT on any medication; I am using this an an example of how ridiculous the one-size-fits-all vaccine requirements are for both humans and animals.)
I've also been told that my own girl Teddy (in the photos above) cannot visit the vet or get her nails clipped (I call it a Teddi-cure) unless she has proof of the poison shot!
Think about it: this renewed push to get our animals injected for a "disease" that has never been proven to exist (gee, sounds like the cooties) -- and even if we accept what Big Pharma tells us about rabies, it has been eradicated for DECADES!
There are so many in our Healthy American family who have furry or feathered family members who are concerned about this renewed and rabid push (see what I did there?) for more animal injections.
When you click here to watch my Part 1 video about rabies, you'll read countless stories of heartbreak and remorse from animals lovers whose pet companions suffered because of these unnecessary shots.
Wouldn't it be terrible to think that these shots are INTENTIONALLY given so that the animal can now become a "patient for life" because of all the devastating side effects? Assuming that the animal lives long enough.
My heart breaks with them, and it is my mission to EDUCATE and EMPOWER those who want to push back against the oppressors who want to harm our precious animal family members and deprive us of their love, comfort, support and incredible richness that they add to our lives. Your stories of loss and regret regarding vaccinating your animals have moved me deeply. In our Healthy American family, there is so much support and empathy -- along with ideas moving forward to keep your furry and feathered family members thriving.
In my recent videos on rabies, I offer several ideas for side-stepping these egregious requirements put into place by vets and groomers.
NOTE: I am not giving any medical advice. These are ideas and solutions that I personally use and others are sharing. My goal is to point you in the right direction so you can increase your knowledge and make decisions that are right for you and your precious animal family members.

What can you do when the vet or groomer asks for your dog’s rabies vaccine certificate?
Well, let me start by saying that I've heard of people "customizing" old vaccination papers so that they can take their dog to the groomer. All I can say is, make sure you spell "rabies" correctly! In my first video about rabies, I explain why I joke about calling it "ravies" and why the term has stuck with me. I'm not necessarily advocating this, but I thought you might enjoy that story.
In all seriousness, if your veterinarian is becoming rabid about vaccines (whether for your dog, cat, horse, bird, goat, chicken or other animals) and does not respect your choices for your pets, and is unwilling to consider alternative solutions or options, then they are probably not the right vet for you. Your pets are family members, so when it comes to their health you want to both like and trust your veterinarian. It’s important that they respect your right to make decisions for your pets.
There are a lot of warning signs to look out for when choosing a new vet, but one of the largest red flags that will cause problems in the long run is having a vet who has tunnel vision and only treats through the lens of allopathic medicine. A vaccine-only approach is not the only option, and if you know me, one of my favorite sayings is, "There's always another way!" And many people are finding alternative methods to avoid these unnecessary, excessive, and toxic intrusions into their pets' lives.
Options to consider for avoiding rabies shots:
Find a holistic vet
I don’t have a list of holistic vets, but here’s a good place to start for more education from a well known holistic vet, Dr. Karen Becker: https://healthypets.mercola.com/sites...
and also Dr. John Robb.
Find a mobile vet or mobile groomer that will come to your home
One reason for the strong push for rabies vaccination is that if your dog bites someone, the vet could be held liable. Although this is highly unlikely, it’s till a good idea to have a vet or groomer come to your home because it eliminates many “risks” and potential reasons for them to refuse care for your pet. Many rules and regulations differ from state to state, but in general, if another person's dog injures someone, the victim can seek financial restitution from the at-fault party (defendant) if certain conditions are met. Typically, the defendant is the dog's owner, but this may not be the case if the attack happened at a vet's office or kennel. Again, this differs by state, and cases against the vet or kennel are very difficult to establish, and the dog owner is usually held liable in like 99% of cases.
Get an exemption if your animal is elderly or has a history of adverse reactions
The other concept, which even your veterinarian should support, is that if your animal cannot handle the shot, they shouldn't receive it. Therefore, if it were my animals, I would argue that they are too old and have a history of adverse reactions, and that I would vouch for the fact that they are not physically able to tolerate it. Your veterinarian could then be able to write a medical exemption.
Get a titer to draw your animals blood to test their immunity
Although I don’t care for these unnecessary blood draws and medical interventions, this last option is better than nothing. At the very least it ensures your pet is healthy while minimizing unnecessary vaccinations (or revaccinations).
Consider non-veterinary options to keep your animals healthy
Again, I am not giving any medical advice, but consider ways to minimize those vet visits by focusing on healthy nutrition, the right amount of physical and mental activity, etc. I personally don’t take my animals for “check-ups” and only use the vet in an emergency.
Continuing with the vet liability issue, all liability would truly be with the owner, so don't let your veterinarian trick you into thinking that they have to give your pet the rabies vaccine or they (the vet) would be liable.
This is why it's so crucial to have a vet you can trust on your side: if your pet were to attack someone and had to be quarantined, at least you'd have a chance that your trusted vet would let your dog go back into your care without administering any shots. Now of course, this varies by state and you should look up the regulations where you live, but your vet is not liable for the bite. Some veterinarians think they must vaccinate their patients every year, and if they don't, they'll be held financially responsible if their patients contract an illness that can be prevented by vaccination. This is not the case and many animals still get ill despite being injected so this is totally false.
In the event your dog did bite or attack another person, here are a few other things to keep in mind that might prevent your dog from being labeled “vicious” or “dangerous” by the state if any of the following are true:
The injured person was doing something to cause the dog to attack them;
The injured person was committing a crime against you or your property; or
Your dog was responding to pain or injury or was protecting itself, its offspring, you, or a member of your household.
It’s unlikely your domesticated dog would even have rabies (assuming it to exist as we’re told). According to the CDC "the U.S. has been free of dog rabies since 2007."
How in the world could your vet require you to have your animal injected with the rabies cocktail when there isn’t even dog rabies in the United States?
I think there's something else going on. We all observe the medical cartel cracking down on physicians, so it should come as no surprise that the same holds true for veterinarians.
For the most part, special interest groups are the driving force behind obligatory rabies vaccination programs. Obviously that would be the vets and veterinarian medical organizations, but also the municipal lawmakers, bureaucrats, and animal control workers. Why? Having rabies mandated through their respective administrative rule making abilities would tremendously help these powerful interest groups. Not to mention the fact that many emotionally disturbed people hold positions of authority in this world, ranging from veterinarians in hospitals to superintendents of humane societies, who will exercise whatever minuscule amount of power they have to take pleasure in harming animals and in some cases ripping them from families and loving pet owners regardless of the facts surrounding rabies.
According to John Fudens, a holistic vet in Florida, dog/cat bites that expose people to rabies are as uncommon in the United States as shark attacks. This low incident rate is unrelated to mandatory vaccination because the number of cases was minimal prior to the requirement.
“Let me give you an example of Pinellas County, FL where my Affinity Clinic is located. I secured information from Pinellas Animal Control through the Freedom of Information Act. The record of animal control starts in 1964. From 1964 to 1978 there were zero cases of dog rabies in the county. Magically in 1978 rabies vaccine was mandated to be given every year and all dogs tagged and licensed. WHY? Well it seems four veterinarians, with animal control bureaucrats, pushed the county board of supervisors to pass a law mandating rabies vaccination every year.
To this date there still has not been one case of dog rabies, including the population of dogs whose owners, GOD BLESS THEM, do not vaccinate for rabies.
From 1964 to 1989 there were no cases of rabies in cats in Pinellas County. Magically in 1989 a law was passed mandating rabies vaccination, tags and licenses for all cats. Same tired worn out excuses were used. Since the 1989 law there was one cat with rabies contracted from the bite of a bat. No allowance is made for dogs/cats who never leave the house or yard, could never be exposed to rabies under any circumstances, or who are so ill, old or at the end of their life cycle that the rabies vaccine would throw them over the edge. No, all dogs and cats are treated the same because we have the bogeyman, rabies, stalking the streets waiting to strike unprotected dogs and cats.” -John Fudens
And this isn’t just Florida, but everywhere. Like I mentioned previously, according to the CDC "the U.S. has been free of dog rabies since 2007." And in France, known for giving the first human rabies vaccination, they have had zero human cases of rabies since 1924 and they are still pushing this nonsense.
Here are some comments from our Healthy Americans who experienced heartbreak over the horrible side effects their precious animals experienced after getting their rabies shot:
All your stories of loss and regret that you have shared in the comments about vaccinating your animals or being betrayed by a trusted veterinarian have profoundly affected me, but this is precisely why education and connection are so vital. Although I do not have a list of holistic veterinarians, I hope that you can interact with the Healthy American community in the comments to discover additional resources and remedies.
