My vet was very happy when I asked about titering. He prefers to test every year rather than every three years, which is fine with me. My Ashley went six years not being vaccinated, and although we didn't go to dog parks or pet stores, she walked a great deal and went many places with me. Most likely dogs are fully immunized after they get their one year boosters, but I know I would worry too much if I didn't titer.
Yeah, I'm the same way, the diseases are horrible and I know I would be worried sick, if my boys didn't have protection, but on the other hand, I hate the thought that the titers aren't giving me reliable information.
