Dr Jean Dodd's recommends doing puppy boosters, one year booster, and titering every 3 years afterwards. This seems to be the best vaccination schedule I have found thus far. I've also seen it recommended numerous times by our "YT experts". Dr-Dodds-ChangingVaccProtocol I feel this method is safer than vaccinating our pets every year, regardless of whether they still have their own immunity or not.

I'm still on the fence. I'm either going to titer, or not vaccinate anymore at all. I don't feel that my girls are at a very high risk because a) they never come into contact with other dogs b) their feet do not touch the ground outdoors. The reaction that Missy had today was not worth the peace of mind of getting them vaccinated. I just don't trust vaccines very much I guess. I definitely think that puppies need their vaccines, but the annual vaccines, I'm not so sure about.
