My boy will get a one year booster (one year since his first known vaccines -- he was found on the street) DHPP + rabies + lepto. Then every 3 years he will get DHPP and rabies. He will get lepto yearly. I'd probably give the DHPP less, but we do have a contract and it is somewhat required. Because this is the AAHA protocol, I see no reason to titer.

The girl is done with everything except rabies. She has too many issues to have to process unnecessary vaccines. Her distemper titer is low. I don't lose sleep over it. I just ignore it now. lol. More than likely she has cellular immunity.

I don't do bordetella. I'm not sure that the current protocol being used, esp. with the intranasal, is even appropriate. My dogs both had kennel cough. It wasn't THAT bad. So unless there was an underlying health problem that made KC very dangerous, I see no reason to give it to my dogs.

We have no reason to give lyme. I don't think there are any others worth considering. No, I wouldn't vaccinate my dog for the flu. That is way too new for my liking.

I'm worried about both over and under vaccination. I personally would not give several noncore vaccines every year. Then it just gets into vaccinating for everything all the time instead of a true risk analysis (IMO). I would not give core vaccine (DHP) yearly after the one year booster.
