I didn't titer Ashley, even though we didn't give her vaccines between the age of eight and seventeen. My veterinarian thought the risks of vaccines were too high. We wouldn't be titering Katie yearly, either, if she had had the DHPP booster this May. Since we titered her this May instead of giving her the booster, my vet recommended that we do it again next spring. In my fifteen years with him, I have never felt that he is doing any unnecessary treatment for the money it would bring him. I'm not sure if the results are valid, but if my vet feels it would be safer to titer every year, I have no problem with it. There seemed to be conflicting information from Dr. Schultz and Dodds about how often to titer when a pup is not immunized.
