Glad you posted this site about the titer test....
Just wanted to add my personal experience on this with Piccolo. I don't think my vet had ever given one before. (The blood test had to be sent to Kansas on ice, and Piccolo's regular vet was not very encouraging about this, probably because Piccolo would not be excused from the Rabies vaccine in Kentucky, anyway.) I did ask him if he was going to turn me in for not vaccinating. Lol.
Since Piccolo has had a delayed reaction to vaccines, she will never have another one, no matter what. But what I did find out was (according to Kansas) anything greater than 5 was acceptable. (whatever 5 means) Her test came back
greater than 900, and this was after not having a Rabies vaccine for 3 years. So, obviously, she will never need another one again and I am sure most of our furbabies are the same way.
Sorry, did not mean to hijack this thread, just wanted to share this information and encourage owners to do this titer test, instead of vaccines, after the first year.
