Our Philosophy
Thriving Dogs Provide The Best Support To Their Families
At Habibi Bears, we believe that the foundation of a happy and healthy puppy begins with natural rearing. This holistic approach to dog breeding and puppy care emphasizes vitality, longevity, and the overall well-being of our dogs. By focusing on natural methods, we ensure that our Habibi Bears—a unique, hypoallergenic, and non-shedding breed—grow up to be the ideal family companion.
“In loving Memory of our sweet Belle”
This page is a tribute to the Conway family and their cherished dog, Belle. She was a beloved member of our Habibi Bear family and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We share her story here to raise awareness about the critical issue of over-vaccination and the harmful effects of flea and tick treatments. Tragically, Belle experienced severe and irreversible health issues, ultimately leading to her untimely passing. The Conway family wishes to share Belle’s story to prevent others from enduring the heartbreak of losing a beloved companion to the same avoidable tragedy. May her story serve as a poignant reminder to prioritize the well-being of our furry friends.
What is Natural Rearing?
Natural Rearing is a method of raising dogs that mimics how they would live in a natural environment.
It prioritizes:
-
A Nutrient-Dense, Species-Appropriate Diet: We provide a balanced diet made from whole, natural ingredients that support optimal health.
-
Minimized Exposure to Toxins: Our breeding program avoids harsh chemicals, synthetic medications, and unnecessary vaccinations whenever possible, opting for natural alternatives to support immunity.
-
Stress-Free Environments: Puppies are raised in loving, developmentally appropriate settings, ensuring their emotional and physical needs are met.
Benefits of Natural Rearing for Habibi Bears
- Healthier Puppies: Our holistic breeding practices reduce the risk of common health issues and improve vitality, ensuring your puppy thrives.
- Allergy-Friendly Companions: As a hypoallergenic and non-shedding breed, Habibi Bears are perfect for families with allergies.
- Emotional and Social Development: Our natural puppy-raising approach supports emotional resilience and prepares puppies for life as therapy dogs, emotional support animals, or cherished pets.
- Longevity: By focusing on genetic diversity and avoiding harmful practices, we promote longer, healthier lives for our dogs.
Our mission is to raise puppies
“Let Food Be Thy Medicine
& Medicine Be Thy Food”
What Hippocrates—the father of modern medicine—said thousands of years ago, still holds true today.
When it comes to puppy rearing, we feed our puppies a holistic diet of raw or quality kibble.
Recommended Food
We feed our puppies a holistic diet of raw combined with dry food.
The formulas we recommend are:
Viva Raw – Raw diet- we feed the puppy formula. Use our link for a special 20% discount on your first order!
Paw Tree Freeze Dried Raw or kibble
(ask us which formula we are feeding your pup’s litter)
Life’s Abundance all life stages or puppy
Herbal De-wormer: Dogs eat gross things and parasites are something every dog guardian will be managing. We use an herbal de-wormer and send a week’s dose home with our puppies to ease transition and curtail a stress break.
QRF Detox K9 and Rampart K9: supplement to support the immune system, or detox your pet if having issues with allergies or medication. We recommend having these in your medicine cabinet to support your pup when medicating or vaccinating.
This is Personal for Us
Natural Immunization with Nosodes
We’ve lived through the heartbreak of vaccine failure in our own home — and what we learned changed our entire approach to puppy immunization.
Today, we follow the proven nosode protocols of Dr. Will Falconer and Dr. Todd Cooney — trusted by natural rearing breeders and holistic veterinarians around the world. Since adopting their protocols, we have successfully eradicated parvo from our program, with no further cases — even during widespread outbreaks.
We invite you to read the full story — it could change how you think about immunity forever.
How We Practice Natural Rearing
Every step of our program reflects our commitment to natural rearing:
Careful Breeding Practices: Using modern science and DNA testing, we maintain genetic diversity to avoid health issues caused by inbreeding.
The Habibi Method: Our proprietary puppy-raising technique honors each puppy’s developmental needs, ensuring they grow into well-rounded dogs.
Education for Families: Through our course, The Human’s Guide to the Dog Galaxy, we teach families about advocating for their dog’s health, understanding body language, and building lasting trust.

The Schultz Modified Vaccination Schedule Paired with Nosodes for Immunity
With puppy rearing, our Habibi Bears are given the best start through a modified vaccine protocol and proven Nosode Protocol. We follow Dr. Schultz’s minimal vaccine guidelines with titer testing and use the Nosode Protocols of Dr. Will Falconer and Dr. Todd Cooney, which have helped us successfully eradicate Parvo from our program.
Over-vaccination can lead to chronic illness — cancer, arthritis, bowel issues, allergies, skin conditions, behavioral problems, and more. Every vaccine carries risks, so it is important to vaccinate only when necessary, for diseases that are untreatable and where vaccines are effective.
Vaccines sensitize, not immunize. Over-vaccination can trigger autoimmune disease by causing the body to attack its own tissues. We use immune support and detox with any vaccines and follow with titer testing to avoid unnecessary revaccination.
“I have so many wonderful memories. Keep raising your beautiful dogs. “
-Tracy Conway
Thank you for your kind words. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of Belle. I miss her terribly. The homeopathic vet confirmed that the excessive medication more than likely triggered the auto-immune response. We can’t look back at what happened, but going forward, we can help educate others to be their pet’s healthcare advocate, and I am going to play a big part too. Please carry on with your education project and use our story to prevent any further tragedies with your sweet, precious pups.
If Belle’s death can help others, there is a silver lining to this horrible tragedy. Because of Covid, Belle got so much more time with her family in the last year and a half.
Are Tick, Flea & Heartworm Medications Safe for Pets?
The European Medicines Agency has documented official reports of side effects and fatalities linked to tick, flea, and heartworm treatments worldwide. (Updated January 15, 2025)
⚠ Did you know?
- Only around 1% of serious side effects from pet medications are officially reported.
- These figures include all animals, from household pets to livestock.
- The FDA has issued warnings, stating some of these products “can cause uncontrollable seizures.”
- Many vets do not acknowledge a connection between these treatments and adverse effects.
- A large number of cases go unreported, meaning the actual risks could be far greater.
⚠ Please do NOT feed/put on your pet anything that is not safe for you or your children to eat or handle!
→Would you reconsider using these treatments for your pet? Let us know your thoughts.
To check specific product reports:
- Choose the Brand Name under “Suspected adverse drug reaction for Products” tab
- Click “Number of cases for selected reaction” tab
- Under “Reaction Group,” select “Systemic Disorders”
- Under “Reaction,” select “Death”
Every year, perfectly healthy dogs suffer severe reactions—and even death—after being given conventional flea and tick treatments. Many of these products, including monthly topicals and prescription pills, contain neurotoxic ingredients that can cause seizures, organ failure, and irreversible damage. Tragically, cases of dogs experiencing sudden illness, neurological disorders, and fatal reactions after receiving these medications are well documented.
As part of our holistic approach, we never use chemical-based flea and tick preventatives. Research by Dr. Jean Dodds and Dr. Ronald Schultz has demonstrated the risks associated with overloading a dog’s system with toxins, whether through over-vaccination or routine pesticide-based preventatives. Instead, we focus on safe, natural alternatives that protect our dogs without compromising their health.
If you’re unsure about the risks of popular flea and tick medications, we encourage you to explore the firsthand experiences of thousands of pet owners who have shared their devastating stories:

A Safer Path for Our Dogs
Rather than relying on toxic chemicals, we focus on building strong, resilient immune systems through:
- A high-quality, species-appropriate diet rich in nutrients
- Immune-supportive supplements for overall wellness
- Non-toxic flea and tick prevention, including natural lawn care and herbal repellents
- A chemical-free home environment
We firmly believe that today’s dogs are overloaded with toxins, contributing to rising cases of cancer, epilepsy, autoimmune diseases, hypothyroidism, allergies, joint disease, and chronic digestive issues. By avoiding excessive pharmaceuticals and prioritizing holistic care, we’ve witnessed remarkable health and vitality in our dogs.
Raising Healthy Puppies the Right Way
Our puppies are raised using a holistic, immune-supportive approach. This includes:
- Parents selected for robust health and genetic diversity
- A carefully balanced diet of raw food and premium kibble to approximate a natural diet
- A modified vaccination schedule & Homeopathic Nosodes that avoids unnecessary over-vaccination
- Natural weaning to allow puppies to receive crucial immunity from their mother’s milk
- Minimized exposure to synthetic medications that could weaken developing immune systems
By reducing toxic exposure from day one, we set our puppies up for long, healthy lives with minimal veterinary intervention. We have seen firsthand the lifelong benefits of a holistic approach, and we are committed to helping families raise healthy, thriving dogs—naturally.
Dr. Schultz’s
Modified Vaccine Schedules
Per Dr. Shultz’s immunology research, he discovered the optimal age for vaccine efficacy – 16 weeks. (see slideshow below)
The more vaccines given at once, the greater the risk of vaccine associated damage: including catching the very disease that you are trying to vaccinate against.
