| How often do you/your vet do titers? I had titers done last year instead of boosters and I just got a post card today from our vet notifying me that they are due again. This is the first time I've had titers done...are they typically done once a year? If so, is that for all dogs regardless of their exposure, or lack of it, to other dogs? |

| Annually is considered standard and it isn't a bad idea. That is what we used to do. I no longer titer

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | We do it annually also, but I've heard that after a certain year, you don't need to.

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Why don't you no longer titer? If you don't mind me asking?

YT 2000 Club Member | So if you have titer testing, a puppy might not need to have yearly vaccines?

| Thank you. I thought it was annually but I couldn't remember for sure. Ellie May and Nancy1999...after what year do you no longer need to do titers? |

The only vaccine we do is rabies because it's a state law...all other shots here are voluntary. | |

YT 2000 Club Member | Thank you for the info! I will take to my vet about this when the time rolls around to have yearly vaccinations.

Also, ask your vet to break up your visits for shots...your pup can have bad reactions to them if they want to give them all at one visit. It's better to do a couple of visits 2 or 3 weeks apart if they need more than one vaccination. | |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I'm sorry, I can't remember, my vet told me that after x years he doesn't give shots or titers. I figured he'd remember, so I didn't have to. At my age, my brain clogs up pretty fast!
