yes it is very expensive.....I now have a "Titer Fund" going lol

At that price you might as well take the trip to Ellie's vet. It is half the price.

how much is it at your vet?? Mine sends it off to MSU and thats what they charge....he said he could look into other labs but he really likes MSU. Do you recommend or know of another?

Thanks for this info. I need to start doing the research.

Do I contact the vet for a one year checkup? Is that from his birthday or when I brought him home? I know...it's probably a stupid question, but I would like to know.

Thanks!

It is $85 for parvo and distemper altogether. They are sent to Colorado State.

I think he mentioned something about that he said Immunization for parvo is usually included in distemper vaccine. So Im assuming they titer those together. Ill have to ask him about that. If thats the case then i guess MSU's price isnt far off. I have to take Diggy in a few months Ill be sure to ask.

I don't think they do both together because you can get vaccine singles and do one at a time instead of the combo. They should separate them if you want them to but don't quote me.
