Hi would like your opinions on vaccines and the amount of a vaccine.

I have always thought about the amount of a vaccine for a small dogs vs. larger dogs. (It is the same Dose.)

When our little one goes for his annual vaccine I have a discussion with my vet as to the amount of the vaccine. After listening to his thoughts I always have him reduce the amount in the vaccine. I do not feel safe with large doses being injected into a small dog. Next year before his vaccine is due again I plan to have him Titer Tested to see if a low dose will still be in his system.

I know there are pro and cons on this topic. I would like to hear your opinions. Thank you.
