A Peek Behind the Curtain of Natural Rearing

If you’ve been searching for natural rearing breeders, you’re probably not just looking for a cute puppy, you’re looking for one raised with intention, integrity, and a deep respect for nature’s design.

At Habibi Bears, we’re proud to be part of a growing community of breeders who prioritize holistic care from the very beginning. But what does that really mean? Natural rearing extends beyond just providing healthy food—it’s about honoring a puppy’s physical, emotional, and genetic well-being through toxin-conscious choices, immune support, and early bonding practices that foster resilience for life.

How Habibi Bears Embrace Natural Rearing

Natural rearing isn’t just a trend, it’s a return to raising dogs the way nature intended.

At Habibi Bears, this philosophy guides everything we do. From naturally sourced diets, such as raw feeding and rotational monofeeding, to minimal medical intervention and toxin-free environments, our approach supports the whole puppy, mind, body, and spirit.

Puppies stay longer with their mothers, are gently socialized, and are raised in spaces free of chemicals and stress. The result? Emotionally balanced, physically vibrant companions who are built for a lifetime of wellness and connection.

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.

Schultz Recommends

According to Dr. Schultz, dogs should receive the following core vaccines:

Parvo/Distemper 16 weeks and titer test at least two weeks after the 16 week dose.

Rabies after 20 weeks, given separately from other vaccines

Our puppies are given age-appropriate vaccinations & receive homeopathic support following Dr Falconer and Dr. Cooney’s recommendations, and we have not had parvo since implementing the nosodes at age 4 weeks for our pups!

-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!

More Information Links:

→If you use these products, it’s important to stay informed and monitor your pet closely. Always research and discuss alternatives with a trusted professional who prioritizes your pet’s well-being.

→Would you reconsider using these treatments for your pet? Let us know your thoughts.

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.
