Thanks for the feedback.

As for the flea pills, then as we have said elsewhere, all chemical-based products can cause all manner of side-effects. You might like to read our review of what we consider the best natural flea remedy for dogs (and cats) on the market, TripleSure (and what that we use on our own dogs): http://www.MyOrganicDoggie.com/health/natural-flea-remedies-for-dogs-and-cats

Unfortunately, facts about vaccinations are extremely hard to come by.

The problem is, most studies are funded by the manufacturers themselves, and from what we have been able to uncover, the amount of real testing that is carried out is surprisingly, if not shockingly, small.

What we did find was a statement by a former vaccine developer who said that vaccines can cause the very illness they’re meant to protect against (as well as other diseases too) – see http://www.ParvoBuster.com/blog/parvo-vaccinations/vaccines-lower-immunity for more details. However, this comment was not specific to the Bordetella vaccine.

You’ll also find a wealth of great material at http://vaccines.mercola.com/ and http://vactruth.com/, but again, nothing specific to kennel cough.

Another good resource is Natural Immunity by Pat McKay. You can either buy a copy of the book on Amazon.com (http://www.ParvoBuster.com/reads/NaturalImmunity.php), or read it for free online here: http://animalhomeopathy.net/id23.html

So, the only evidence we can offer you about the Bordetella vaccine is what people have said on this page, and we have to assume that there is no reason for them to lie about their experiences. Having said that, we have spoken to a ton of people whose dogs got the Canine Parvovirus within days, or even hours, of being given their Parvo shots – all vaccines carry risks, and we’ve worked with enough pet owners (as an example, we have helped treat well over 4,500 dogs for Parvo using our natural products and home remedies) to know that we’re not talking about isolated incidents here.

We suggest you invest in a Daily Maintenance Kit (http://www.KennelCoughTreatment.org/buy-kennel-cough-treatment#dailymaintenance). We use this with our dogs every day to help keep them healthy, but it can also be used to detox a dog after it has been given any shots (although we also recommend using it before vaccination too). If you really want extra protection, then we suggest the Mega Detox Kit (http://www.KennelCoughTreatment.org/buy-kennel-cough-treatment#megadetox), which contains both products from the Daily Maintenance Kit as well as a third product, MaxoTox, which is a great natural detox product.

We hope your dog stays healthy.

As far as we know, Primalix is only available online.

Is this product available locally? I live in a suburb
of Richmond, VA (Glen Allen)

The number of drops per dose depends on each dog’s weight – it can be anywhere from 2 – 30 drops per dose.

A full treatment consists of three doses per day (i.e. every eight hours), for ten days, for each dog.

One 4oz. bottle of Primalix KC should be just about enough to treat all four of your dogs, although if we knew their exact weights, we could give you a more definite answer.

You can order from this page (where you’ll also find some great-value combo kits): http://www.KennelCoughTreatment.org/buy-kennel-cough-treatment

We know this can be difficult, so first of all, we’d like to point you to another of our articles on this site: http://www.kennelcoughtreatment.org/dog-friendly-hotels-and-other-ways-to-avoid-having-to-vaccinate-your-pet

Also, if you do want to use a pet-sitting service, then both companies do have specials at the moment, although we have no idea how long they’re valid for:

Try a code of SNOW20 on this site: http://www.kennelcoughtreatment.org/recommends/Sittercity.php?p=2

We hope you find a solution to your dilemma.
