AAHA did put out guidelines or something in 2003, I think. This isn't it though. This looks like Dr. Dodds..

For my boy I follow AAHA because he came from a rescue that checks up on vaccines given. I also do lepto without hesitation. He is 16 pounds and it is a major problem in Michigan.

For the girl I only do rabies now. She has so many issues and I just don't think we need to do anything else. Her last distemper vaccine was in 2007. Low titer now and I don't care. I think titer testing is overrated. Certainly a good thing, but somewhat misused imo.

Honestly, if a vet tried to tell me I had to vaccinate for dhpp yearly without trying to compromise (i.e. every three years instead, titers as replacement, etc.), then I couldn't stay with them. I just don't think it is right that some vets force annual vaccines and act like owner is committing a crime if it is not done. They are setting themselves up as if they know more than vet schools and AAHA. It is sad seeing people dread having vaccine talks with their vets. This should mot be stressful.
