Now THAT makes sense to me!!
I apologize if I offended you Chachi. I definitely don't think your vet is the only one that won't accept breeder shots either. I was speaking more in generalized terms and from my experiences. A lot of vets over-vaccinate...and do other unnecessary things to make money. I've ran into my fare share of them recently and that is what I was thinking about when I made my comment. I KNOW my vet wouldn't write me a script because he wanted me to buy my HW pills off HIM because he wanted the money and/or the kick backs from the companies. I've had issues with a few other vets as well.
Why do you guys think testing for titers so uncommon??
It seems like most vets will just re-vaccinate rather than testing for titers.
For example, if someone finds a stray dog on the side of the road and takes it to the vet, most likely, the vet will just go ahead and re-vaccinate it.
Until coming on here, I'd never even heard of a vet doing titers. It just doesn't seem like common practice.
