After my 6 yr. old Golden got sick....I found a new vet who was willing to do a rabies titer. It showed continued protection for years. He then gave me a letter for my town each year. They accepted this approach. I never vaccinated her again and stopped using the tick and flea solution that my previous vet foisted on us. (ANd...it did not prevent the tick borne illness that she got). I stopped all the chemicals and injections. She was healthier for it. See if you can try this option. Good luck.
No one in my area does the titers. IF someone would do it the vets will not accept the results. (I have been told this by the vets.) It cuts into their profits.
phuque vets. I raised standard poodles for 18 years. Quit in 2013. My pack of 5 is dying off. Granny is 16, daughter is 13, Granddaughter is 10. no shots or licenses since 2012. Oregon
Exactly Bandit. And I am always bewildered by people who report their pets to the state! We always got our pets from a neighbor or someone giving away puppies or kittens and we *never* marched down to report our pet to some government agency! When are people going to grow a pair and start saying NO to things?

God bless you! My 3 are 18 (25th of this month), 16 (in May), and 11 (in April). The 18 yo has not had shots. The vet is fine with it, b/c of his age.
And you. Keep on keepin on.
