Is titer test necessary?
Some vets say yearly just to be safe. Others say tests every three years are all that are necessary, while others recommend every five to seven years. Many titer tests suggest that dogs vaccinated against parvovirus and distemper have immunity for five to seven years, or they can have immunity for life.
Are titers the same as immunizations?
If you are unsure if you have had all the recommended immunizations, you can find out through an Immunization Titer Test. These tests measure the antibodies in your blood to determine if you have immunity to a disease or if a vaccination may be required.
