How Much Do You Pay For Titre Testing

[Reddii]

I use 2 vets - one is very local and we use them for the cats and anything regular and run of the mill for the dogs (vaccinations, recent bout of KC etc etc.). The other is about 3/4 of an our away and is our chiro as well as anything more serious. Both know the arrangement and are fine with it.

Vet no 2 does Titre testing for about $60 (plus consultation) for all 3 diseases - Parvo, distemper and Hepatitis, but has actually recommended against it for our dogs in favour of vaccinations - knowing he doesn't and won't vaccinate them. His reasoning is that he's not 100% confident in the test and feels for dogs that are always in the company of other dogs (trial/show dogs) then vaccination is safer. This is a turn around from 12 months ago when he was not an advocate of vaccinations (according to him, I hadn't had the discussion with him at that time.)

This guy is very progressive and does a LOT of holistic work as well as a lot of study/professional development in all areas of veterinary practice.

Just another perspective.

Cheers.
