I don't even get Distemper/parvo every 3 years. Much research has shown these vaccines to last for 5-7+ years.

Jackson is 7 1/2 and hasn't had a shot of DHP since he was 1. He has has rabies every 3 years as per the law. Titer testing is somewhat iffy and I don't like to depend on it but I did get him a titer test last year for the hell of it and his levels came up low for distemper -- all of his other vaccines showed adequate protection. So I'll likely get him a booster of distemper soon just because might as well -- peace of mind, I know it's not going to hurt anything.
