You could get a yearly titer test to see what if any vaccines are necessary. I did have one dog have a bad reaction to vaccines. Puffed up like a ballon. After 3 years old vet said to only do rabies. That's what I did.

I know those first two years are important for vaccines, but after that I'm not always sure if they are necessary. Us humans get vaccines as kids, than never again for most of them. I generally do my dogs every 3 years until age 10 than stop everything but the rabies.

Don't know. It's what I'm comfortable with.

I think most dogs under 10 can handle vaccines. I actually go by how the dog is doing, and whether it has any health issues. I do believe most carry immunity their whole lives from their initial vaccines.

My dogs never go to a kennel, groomer, or daycare, so I'm not required by anything else to give vaccines beyond rabies. I want my dogs covered, by not over vaccinated.

I didn't see a difference in the dogs doing it yearly. So it can't hurt unless your dog has a reaction. Most vets should be willing to discuss it with you. If they aren't than you need a different vet. I decided on the plan with my vet of puppy shots, than the year booster, than every 3 years until they are older or I feel it isn't worth doing due to some health issue.

I'd probably do the titer if I was concerned. My favorite vet tech does it on her dog. She says it continues to show immunity for her dog. I've read people have seen a lifelong immunity, and I've read that it can only show immunity if the dog had been exposed to these diseases and the immune system is active. That would make sense to vaccinate at that point. Vaccines remind the immune system what's bad.

Thanks!! Good to know there are other options. I will certainly discuss this with my vet.
