August is National Vaccine Month… but here’s the truth: over-vaccination can do more harm than good.

💉 Too many shots can overload your pet’s immune system, with smaller dogs feeling it even harder. This can trigger long-term problems—skin issues, autoimmune disease, digestive trouble, and in cats, even cancer at the injection site.

📌 My rule? Protect them, but don’t overdo it. Read my safe, minimal protocol here: https://veterinarysecrets.com/national-vaccine-month-beware-of-the-hidden-risks/

"Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the second most common heart disease in dogs. In recent years, concerns have been raised regarding a potential association between grain-free dog foods and the development of DCM.

To evaluate this possible connection, this study randomized healthy adult dogs to one of four complete and balanced diets, each formulated with different ingredients, to assess their impact on cardiac function and overall health over an 18-month period.

The diets included:

A grain-free diet with potatoes and peas
A grain-inclusive diet with peas and pea fiber
A grain-inclusive diet without peas or potatoes
A grain-free diet with potatoes

No changes in cardiac function were observed between the grain-free and grain-inclusive groups, and taurine levels remained unaffected by diet.

These results show that foods designed to provide similar nutritional profiles—regardless of specific ingredients—supported heart health in healthy adult dogs. This study highlights the importance of balanced, high-quality nutrition in maintaining canine heart health."

🚨 IMPORTANT NEWS from Dr. Will Falconer, DVM 🧬🐶
I’m sharing this urgent update from holistic vet Will Falconer, DVM, who just covered this in his newsletter — and it’s something every pet owner needs to know. ⚠️

👉 Merck has launched a new rabies vaccine called Nobivac NXT, now rolling out across North America.
It uses self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) technology, similar to what we saw with the Covid vaccines — but now in our animals. 🧪

💉 Claimed “benefits”:
• Only 0.5 ml dose
• No aluminum (adjuvants)
• No mercury (preservatives)

But what’s the catch?

⚠️ This lab-created RNA replicates inside the body.
Once injected, it produces rabies virus proteins that trigger the immune system — and this RNA can spread throughout the body, including vital organs and the brain. The long-term effects? Completely unknown.

🧬 No independent long-term safety studies
📄 No transparency
💊 Research conducted by Merck’s own Intervet — not peer-reviewed or publicly available

We’ve seen what can go wrong with fast-tracked RNA tech in humans. Now it’s being pushed onto our pets.

🐾 What you can do:
✅ Ask to see the vaccine label before ANY injection.
❌ If it says “Nobivac NXT,” say NO.
✅ Request the older “thimerosal-free” version instead.

❓Why the rush? Rabies isn’t a widespread crisis in the West. Let’s not gamble with our pets’ health.

📌 Summary: Until we have real, independent, long-term safety data, this RNA vaccine should not be blindly accepted. Let’s protect our animals with informed decisions.

🙏 Thank you Dr. Will Falconer, DVM for continuing to dig deep and speak out. I’m sharing this to help raise awareness.
