We are often asked for an alternative to the conventional vaccinations for dogs and cats. The following information may be helpful.
Orthodox Prevention
Your local veterinary clinic will advise on this.
Homoeopathic Preventative Treatment
Although the following remedies have been used successfully for many years they have not been tested in clinical trials like conventional vaccines. We are therefore unable to make claims as to their efficacy. If your animals are under the care of a homoeopathic vet you may well have been advised to administer one of the following regimes:
For Dogs
A combination of the following remedies given in tablet form (for dosage see below).
Hard pad and distemper 30c, Parvo virus 30c, Leptospirosis 30c, Hepatitis 30c, Kennel cough 30c.
Supplied in the following sizes: 7g (50 tablets) @ £7.00, 14g (100 tablets) @ £10.00, 25g (200 tablets) @ £14.00. Larger sizes available upon request.
For Cats
A combination of the following remedies given in tablet form (for dosage see below).
Rhinotracheitis 30c, Calici virus 30c, Feline peritonitis 30c, Feline enteritis 30c, Feline leukaemia 30c. Feline Chlamydia 30c and FTLV 30c.

Dosage
The suggested dosage for both cats and dogs of all ages irrespective of previous orthodox vaccinations is the same.
One tablet to be given twice daily by mouth for the first three days then…
One tablet to be given once a week for six weeks then…
One tablet to be given once a month continually.
Further information
The products above have been prepared from sterilized vaccines by the traditional process of sequential dilution and succussion employed in homoeopathic manufacture. They are designed to be administered by mouth rather than by injection. Since the micro doses of the remedy are embedded on the tablet surface you are advised not to handle them. To administer a dose simply tip the tablet into the cap of the vial and from there onto your pet’s tongue. If necessary crush a tablet between two clean spoons and dissolve the powder in water. This can then be syringed into the mouth or deposited in the water bowl.
Ainsworths supply a wide range of remedies for the animal treatment. In addition we also publish and supply books on the treatment of cats and dogs written with the owner in mind. These are £4.90 each by post. There are an increasing number of homoeopathic vets now in practice and we will gladly supply a list of these upon request.
Finally, for those affected by cat and dog hair, we have remedies made from these which can substantially reduce the allergic symptoms.
