My current vet has been scaring me into getting annual shots. Now I feel so guilty for doing it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find a good vet? Also what questions should I ask them?

Thanks.
The most i paid for a titer was to cornell university it was $152.

They do send them out usually to vet schools

The titers i have had done also were sent to colorado state and i believe antech but now jean dodds does them and i think she does them for $50 appx

sounds like they are trying to scare you off of doing them due to cost - that is bad news

also keep in mind a low titer does not necessarily mean your dog is not protected. My demi had a low titer so i vaccinated her but it was only because she did not have her one year booster yet
