Holistic Approach to Rearing our puppies

Thriving Dogs Provide the Best Support to their Families

Our Philosophy

After years of nurturing puppies and listening to our families share their concerns about vaccine reactions and health issues linked to the chemicals and pesticides used for flea and tick control, it became crystal clear that we had to step up and prioritize a holistic approach for our canine companions.

This page is a tribute to the Conway family and their cherished dog, Belle. She was a beloved member of our Habibi Bear family and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We share her story here in the hope of raising awareness about the critical issue of over-vaccination and the harmful effects of flea and tick treatments. Tragically, Belle experienced severe and irreversible health issues, ultimately leading to her untimely passing. The Conway family wishes to share Belle's story to prevent others from enduring the heartbreak of losing a beloved companion to the same avoidable tragedy. May her story serve as a poignant reminder to prioritize the well-being of our furry friends.

We practice a holistic approach by following a modified vaccination schedule and safe flea and tick treatments (no monthly topicals or prescription pills) per Dr. Schultz's research. By using natural lawn treatments, no toxic chemicals in our homes, and feeding a species-appropriate diet, we have found our dogs to thrive!

Sadly, each year, perfectly healthy dogs have been harmed by overvaccinating and toxic flea and tick treatments, with some even leading to death after receiving multi-dose vaccinations from their veterinarians. This doesn't have to happen, and there is a wonderful alternative.

We focus on feeding our lovely companions a high-quality diet, including supplements and immune-supportive preventative care, and providing a safe, chemical-free environment, complete with a modified vaccination schedule.
The results are miraculous, and the more we focus on the whole dog and supporting their immune system holistically, the more we are amazed at how vitally healthy they are!

We believe that today’s dogs are overloaded with chemicals and this causes cancer, epilepsy and autoimmune disorders including hypothyroidism, allergies, joint disease, digestive issues and parasite loads.
Proper care in puppy rearing results in healthy, long-lived animals and minimal veterinary bills. Our precious puppies are also raised holistically, and this consists of a variety of homeopathic practices, starting from healthy parents, and fed a mixture raw food and premium kibble, in order to approximate a natural diet as closely as possible.

We refrain from excessive use of allopathic medicines, as they can potentially suppress symptoms and contribute to the development of chronic diseases. Our strategy involves integrating immune-supportive care to maintain a well-rounded approach to treatment. Furthermore, we ensure that our puppies undergo natural weaning, allowing them to obtain immunity through their mother's milk during the critical period when their immune systems are fragile and still maturing.

“Let food be thy medicine
& medicine be thy food”

What Hippocrates—the father of modern medicine—said thousands of years ago, still holds true today. When it comes to puppy rearing, we feed our puppies a holistic diet of raw combined with high quality dry food.

The schultz Modified Vaccination Schedule

With puppy rearing, our Habibi Bears are given the best start to life by providing a modified protocol and titer testing following the Dr. Schultz safe vaccine protocols (read slideshow below). Over vaccination leads to many health problems including cancer, arthritis, bowel issues, allergies, skin issues, behavioral problems and more. Every vaccine has the potential to reactions and chronic disease so it is important that vaccines are given minimally and only for diseases that are prevalent and for which there is no effective cure. The vaccine must also work to prevent that particular disease (which is not the case in many circumstances).

Immunity Support
It is important to remember that vaccines do not immunize: they sensitize. The reality is, over-vaccinating can over-sensitize and the dog becomes sensitized not only to the virus injected, but to his own body tissues as well. This is auto-immune disease and the very real consequence to modified live vaccines.
We recommend using immune support and detox with any vaccines, followed by titer testing for immunity to arm yourself with knowledge instead of vaccinating when unnecessary.

Schultz Recommends

According to Dr. Schultz, dogs should receive the following core vaccines:

Parvo/Distemper/Adenovirus 8, 12, 16 weeks and titer test at least two weeks after the last dose

Rabies after 20 weeks, given separately from other vaccines

Our puppies are given age-appropriate vaccinations

Thank you for your kind words, Not a day goes by when I don’t think of Belle. I miss her terribly. The homeopathic vet confirmed that the excessive medication more than likely triggered the auto immune response. We can’t look back at what happened, but going forward we can help educate others to be their pet’s healthcare advocate and I am going to play a big part too. Please carry on with your education project and use our story to prevent any further tragedy with your sweet, precious pups. If Belle’s death can help others, there is a silver lining to this horrible tragedy. Because of Covid, Belle got so much more time with her family in the last year and a half. I have so many wonderful memories. Keep raising your beautiful dogs.

Dr. Schultz’s & Dr. Dodd's
Modified Vaccine Schedules

Per Dr. Shultz's immunology research, he discovered the optimal age for vaccine efficacy - 16 weeks. (see slideshow below)
Dr. Dodd's protocols
The more vaccines given at once, the greater the risk of vaccine associated damage: including catching the very disease that you are trying to vaccinate against.

Natural Rearing

We are so thankful for Julie and Habibi Bears.

Our Habibi Bear, Bella was having some issues with her digestion and itchy skin and ears, and seemed lethargic and wasn't as active as she used to be. Julie immediately pointed me in the direction of her Natural Rearing protocols. We located a Homeopathic vet and they confirmed that all of her symptoms indicated vaccinosis. We started a detox regime using the homeopathic remedies and Bella has bounced back and is doing so much better! I am beyond grateful for this information. I wish everyone knew what damage we are doing to our dogs, by following conventional advice.
