The Vaccine Conversation No One Is Actually Having (with Paula Vandervoort)

In this in-depth conversation, Bre sits down with Paula Vandervoort — a 50+ year Boxer breeder, natural rearing expert, homeopath, naturopath, and founder of The Dog Breeder Store — a space dedicated to bringing holistic tools and education to breeders and dog parents alike.Together, they explore the origins and intention behind vaccines, how they function in the body, and where the conversation often falls short when it comes to understanding true immunity. Paula shares her perspective and research on adverse reactions, the limitations of a one-size-fits-all approach, and why building a dog’s internal resilience and terrain matters more than any single intervention. They also dive into the disconnect between policy and biology when it comes to rabies, the role of titers, and the broader question of what actually creates a robust, adaptable immune system in dogs. This episode invites dog parents to step out of fear, ask better questions, and begin thinking about health in a more individualized, biologically aligned way.Follow Bre on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tailswellhealth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit Tailswell Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tailswell.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Show Notes Paula Vandervoort:The Dog Breeder StoreThe Natural Rearing Breeder ConnectionFacebook Group: Naturally Reared Holistic DogCreating Immunity w/o Vaccinations EbookDr. Todd Cooney's Parvo DataFacebook Group: ⁠The Unvaccinated Pet Community⁠Purdue Unvaccinated vs Vaccinated StudyDr. Pitcairn's WebsiteWhat Every Dog Parent Should Know About Vaccines (Referencing the work of Dr. Ronald Schultz)⁠Dr. William Falconer's Parvo/Distemper Nosode ProtocolAffordable Titer Testing (vet draws blood, you mail in )HemoPetTexas A & M Veterinary Diagnostics LabKansas State University Veterinary Diagnostics Lab
