I was told some places would not accept it, such as some groomers, but I wasn't told it was not accepted by law. In the next year I will explore it further, especially since the a Rabies Challenge Fund has said the DOI is much greater than three years. Katie is not due for a Rabies vaccine until May 2016.

I'm pretty sure the titer does not exempt you from the laws of the rabies vaccine for the state your in at least not yet. I keep hearing that titers are not as great as everyone thinks and can give a false sense of protection but who knows. I gave DAP every three years and now that she is 7 I'm not giving it anymore but not doing titers either. But will do rabies every three years like my state requires.
