I'm sorry that your vet is so closed minded. If I were you I'd find a holistic vet and start using him/her.
My vet is new to me and the dogs. I thought I'd have the same old negative song and dance about my home cooking and the supplements I feed my dogs. His office waiting room has a huge display of Science Diet dog and cat food. But surprisingly he was very open minded about what I was doing. We went through my menu and feeding technique as well as the supplements I give to them to keep their coats and skin healthy. He had no objection to anything that I was doing and actually commended me on taking the time and effort to feed my kids good wholesome food.
The more I learn about vets and their training the more I understand that they are taught to work within the paramaters of their training and anything "outside the box" is unproven and therefore not applicable. I don't happen to agree with that. Vets make their money on vaccinations and office visits so they are going to fight tooth and nail to keep the money coming in....
I happen to like my vet but if I don't feel my dog needs a vaccination I'll order a titer before I'll allow him to vaccinate. It's more expensive, yes but hey they are my kids and I want the best for them even if it does mean no shot!
