I have 2 young dogs the oldest of which is now due his first booster.  I have had dogs for 30 odd years and never until my last 2 dogs have I ever kept having boosters done and all lived until they were a ripe old age and were very healthy.
However my last 2 dogs I religously had thier boosters done every year.  The first one I lost age 4years to an Auto Immune Disease. 6 months later my other dog went down with an auto immune disease and a year later age just 7 I lost her.
I am now questioning if it was the regular vaccinations that caused it and am now in a dilemma as to whether I should risk having my youngsters boostered or risk the illnesses they are vaccinated against.
The auto immune disease was horrendous and I never want to go through that again, but i do live in a built up area with some very irresponsible dog owners, so would they be better off boostered.
Is thier any homeopathic things i could give them instead of boosters and are they proven to work without upsetting the immune system.
Hope some of you can help and advise as I really am tearing myself apart over this.

You will have read the constant discussions on here about vaccinations, titre level, memory cells and homeopathic nosodes. 

If you want to learn more about homoeopathic cover, then I would suggest that in the first instance, you contact a homoeopathic Vet for the best advice.  They will certainly recognise the history of your previous dogs.

How do i find a homeopathic vet?  Sorry don't want to seem thick but have never tried to find one before.

Not thick at all - it's a new subject for you!

Don`t know that it`ll help you decide tho........

Someone posted a link to vet practicing homoeopathy today actually.  If you click on routine treatments you can see what they have to say about vaccination.
