As some of you may have read in my other posts, a blood test called titer test,can test for antibodies to a certain disease in order for you to find out wether or not your dog needs to be revaccinated.
As long as your dog received at least one puppy shot after 15 weeks of age,he should be protected for at least 3-5 years,most often a life time.
In most cases it is not necessary to revaccinate an animal and considering the ingredients they put in vaccines,and the way vaccines work, it can actually harm your pet.
Now I am very lucky and my vet does Distemper/Parvo/Hepatitis titering for 40$.
Because most vets make more money with the regular 'annual booster' ,they either dont offer the option of titer testing or they charge a ridicilous high amount.
I did some research and found out that you can get the Parvo/Distemper and even the rabies titer done through Hemopet. (Dr. Jean Dodds). The Distemper/Parvo is $52 and the rabies between $98-$120, depending on wether or not you need it for international travel.
I am so excited to have found out about this because now everybody can get it done without getting ripped off by their local vets.
