Safer Pet Vaccination and Health Care: A Benefit Seminar

March 28, 2010 in San Diego

Are you over-vaccinating your pet, even giving unnecessary or potentially dangerous shots? Would you know if you were?

Please join world-renowned pet vaccination experts, Drs. Jean Dodds and Ron Schultz, at the Del Mar Hilton for a day-long seminar on March 28, 2010. Having raised the issue of potentially over-vaccinating our pets decades ago, these two experts have been instrumental in changing the vaccination protocols of major veterinary organizations, schools and vets globally.

-- Dr. Schultz will discuss "What Every Pet Owner Should Know About Vaccines and Vaccination Programs." Dr. Schultz was a Member of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association Vaccination Guidelines' Group and Board Member of the 2003 and 2006 American Animal Hospital Association's Canine Vaccine Task Forces, as well as the AAFP Feline Vaccine Task Force.

-- Dr. Dodds will discuss "Managing and Treating Adverse Vaccine Reactions," titer testing, blood tests for wellness and more. Dr. Dodds, formerly AHVMA's Holistic Veterinarian of the Year, consults nationally and internationally on hematology, immunology, endocrinology, nutrition and holistic medicine.

-- All proceeds (less direct costs) benefit the Rabies Challenge Fund Charitable Trust, a non-profit group dedicated to increasing the period between rabies shots from 3 to 5, then 7 years. The group is also working to establish a blood "titer standard" that provides a scientific basis to avoid unnecessary rabies booster vaccinations. Their concern is based on concern that the rabies vaccine can cause autoimmune disease, skin and digestive disorders, injection site tumors, behavior changes and other adverse reactions.

This important event is organized and hosted by our own award-winning San Diego-based author, Jan Rasmusen (Scared Poopless: The Straight Scoop on Dog Care.) San Diego-based The Honest Kitchen, makers of human-grade dehydrated pet foods, is the Platinum Sponsor. Nature’s Variety and Dexter’s Deli pet health food stores are Silver Sponsors.

The seminar includes breakfast, lunch and a bag of Nature’s Variety dog or cat food. There will also be surprise pet care demonstrations plus live and silent auction items, live consultations with holistic vets, pet products and services, dog training and more.
