We’ve already talked at great length about why we don’t believe in vaccinating animals, particularly in our article about the Bordetella vaccine, and if you think we’re making all of this up, then you should read the many comments we’ve received from visitors to this site, where their own pets have got sick, or even worse, died, because of this unnecessary vaccination.
However, we also appreciate that if you are going away and are thinking of boarding your pet, then most kennels and catteries will insist on seeing proof that your pet is up-to-date with his shots (which will typically include kennel cough / Bordetella, and maybe Parvo as well as others).
If, like us, you don’t believe in subjecting your beloved pet to what is basically an unproven experiment, and one that could kill your animal, then what other alternatives are there?
We’ve done some research, and we are pleased to offer you a few alternatives to the traditional boarding kennels.
Firstly, make sure that you really do have to go away and leave your pet at home.
Maybe the trip isn’t 100% necessary, in which case, no more problem.
But let’s assume that you have no choice in the matter.
OK, our next suggestion would be to see if you have any trustworthy friends, family members or neighbours who would look after your pet for you, as this way, your animal can stay at home.
If you choose this approach, then just be careful that the people you ask to care for your pet don’t have dogs or cats themselves
