Yes, I believe a former vet office of Ellie's had the capability. I had them sent out anyway... Hers go to Colorado State.

Even if Ellie was totally healthy and they came back low every year or two, I still wouldn't do them. I don't think, based on what I've seen with her, that they give the whole picture. And now because we are likely done with everything except rabies, it would be a waste of money for us anyway.

For those that want peace of mind, pay the $80 a year and hope for high levels of parvo and distemper. But if they come back low (esp. almost every time), then you're going to feel bad for overvaccinating if you redo them, feel bad for undervaccinating if you you don't redo them with low titer, etc. You could end up doing them more than every three years and now you've gone against AAHA recommendations... So I don't think there is one right answer here.
