What is a vaccine titer?
The term titer refers to the strength or concentration of a substance in a solution. A titer is a blood test that can identify the presence of antibodies induced by vaccinations. This test will determine if a pet really needs a vaccine prior to it actually getting one.

Why do a titer test?
Recent findings have shown that we might be over vaccinating our pets. Studies have shown some harmful side effects of over vaccinating, including allergic reactions such as facial swelling, itching, cancerous tumors, autoimmune diseases such as anemia, platelet problems and joint disease has been linked as well.
