I seriously doubt anyone could expect to intuit a dog’s reaction the *subtle* side effects of a rabies shot.

Unless you’ve had the shots, you have no place to speak of them.

Or were you just making a passive-aggressive snark at *me*, questioning my ability to understand my dogs?

Hilariously ironic, that.

"If you think that your dog cannot communicate that
they feel bad, then you're a poor dog parent."

You evidently have no way of knowing this
but that is just about the most incredibly
funny thing you could have posted.

A broad statement at the end.

You and I may agree but we may not.

does your sister know about vaccination-associated sarcoma in felines?

or the epidemic of feline hyperthroidism from over vaccinating cats?

or the horrors of adjuvants used to “irritate” feline immune systems because killed-virus vaccines are too weak without them?

https://www.google.com/search?q=feline+vaccinations+adjuvants&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

or the more expensive recombinate Purevax vaccines that are powerful enough to not require adjuvants?

Excellent post.

Neither docs or vets are infallible gods, and all work for and are schooled by corporations with profit agendas. Purina. There is NOTHING they make that has anything resembling nutrition for a cat. What a joke.

Imagine my horror when I found that Purina bought Merrick and Castor & Pollux, two of the best foods out there.
[well, used to be, anyway]

Merrick *swears* they’re still the same old down home, family company they always were and always will be, but in the two short years since the buy out people are already noticing the difference in the quality.
[*how* the owner of the company, famous for being deeply concerned with proper nutrition and safe sources reconciled selling the rights to “Putrina”, the absolute antithesis to everything he stood for, I’ll never know]

I did not discover this until *after* I bought 3 bags of Merrick Beef at crazy savings, just because Pet Valu was not carrying some flavors anymore.

I cannot return it, or I would.

When it’s gone, there will be no more Merrick or C&P here.

Even *if* they are true to their word, I will NOT knowingly put a penny into Purina’s pocket, ever.

I can get Victor Salmon and Earthborn Holistic locally so screw ‘em.

I should also mention Purina’s ubiquitous ingredient, Menadione, a cheap, synthetic Vitamin K additive, legal only in China, and imported from China, infamous for the damage it does to the kidneys, livers and immune systems of animals.

Yet they refuse to stop using it because it saves them a few dimes and it is in ALL of their crappy foods.

Ugh, did not know that.

I think of the commercial products, Weruva canned is the most nutritious. They have a long spread of differently priced lines, the most expensive being the fullest nutrition, but you can buy from all lines and save a little $ by switching daily from the highest to the others. The only thing it is missing for cats is enough healthy fat, because good fats are pricy and would raise the price of retail too much. But easy for we owners to add a bit of coconut oil, or, what I do now, is smear a bit of grassfed butter on a paper towel near the dish for her to lick up. Really helps re fur balls too.

“If their unvaccinated pet should bite someone, even playfully, it will be put down and tested for rabies.

That is the law, everywhere.”

WRONG.
