Someone calling my vet would find that my dog has not had say the Lepto vaccine or the Lyme vaccine and I wonder if they would then assume that I did not take proper care of my dogs not knowing that I have done a significant amount of research making the decision to pass on these vaccines and also that my dogs titered which costs more than the cost of the vaccine. I wonder if people like me are passed on by rescues because of this?
Surely not; I think it makes you look more responsible. (: Like you said, titers are more expensive, safer, and I think opting for a dog to not take the non-core vaccinations is understandable.
