You appear to have two choices: Give a vaccine that you KNOW your pup can not tolerate and could EASILY kill her the next time she gets it........or......groom your baby yourself. No brainer!! You have made the right choice! Waivers ARE also an option....your vet can substantiate that need....if your groomer or boarder refuses to take a valid titer result, and/or a waiver, change groomers/boarder facility, as there are up to date, current, knowledgable businesses that DO appreciate the accuracy of titers. Oh, by the way....you know all these vaccines are NOT 100% preventative.....a pet that has received a rabies shot can still get rabies.....chances are not overwhelming, but it exists. Get a mobile groomer or do it yourself!!
