Titer testing is the one thing that the veterinary industry should do, but usually doesn't. I KNOW that titer testing saves lives, and prevents vaccine injuries (triggering of allergies, autoimmune disease, immune system dysregulation, a range of chronic diseases, up to and including death from things like Immune Mediated Haemolytic Anemia).
It's a simple blood test that measure the levels of antibodies in the blood. If your pet still has enough antibodies, revaccination does NOTHING but expose your pet to the risk of harm.
If your pets have adequate antibodies, then those antibodies interfere with the vaccine. So these so-called 'boosters' do nothing to increase your pet's level of protection a lot of the time.
WHY?
Because the core vaccines (C3 for dogs, F3 for cats) give a LONG-LASTING IMMUNITY of at least 5-7 years, and often a whole lot longer. Sometimes lifelong!
One problem is that a lot of vets send their titer tests out to external labs, which makes them VERY expensive. I use an in-house test kit. It makes it affordable. Any vet hospital can stock and use these kits.
So it's YOUR JOB to advocate for your pets and ask your vets to get the Biogal Vaccicheck in-house test kits in, so they can give you affordable titer testing, in-house.
If your vets are not open to this, just KEEP ON ASKING - the more that everyone who loves their pets asks their vets to make these tests affordable and accessible, the better!
I'm not anti-vax. They work. They protect from these deadly diseases. There is undeniable, robust, repeated evidence that proves this. I've seen too many dogs die from parvo to not know that vaccines can save lives. And yes, there are alternatives - message me if you want to know more about that!
The bottom line is that you should ALWAYS titer before revaccinating for the core (C3 + F3) vaccines. No ifs, no buts. I wish this was taught at vet schools, and an industry-wide standard!
Have you ever titer tested your dogs? What were the results? How long did their immunity last after vaccination? How has your vet responded to requests? What do they charge? Love to hear from you in the chat.
