Benefits of Titer Testing than Vaccinating


The benefits of the titer approach are as follows:
*Decreased minor side effects (fever, stiffness, joint soreness, lethargy, decreased appetite) and serious side effects (injection site sarcomas, collapse with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (decreased red blood cell count) or thrombocytopenia (decreased platelet count,) liver failure, kidney failure, bone marrow suppression, immune suppression, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, food allergy, atopic dermatitis, glomerulonephritis/renal amyloidosis (different types of immune kidney diseases,) seizures, bloating, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism) from immunization.
*True holistic approach to patient care.
*No wasted vaccination.
*Focus on true preventive health rather than simply preventing only infectious diseases.
*Pets are only vaccinated with whatever is necessary based upon titer testing (no more 7-in-1 shots for every pet every year!)

I believe titer testing is a better option than simply vaccinating all pets every 1-3 years whether or not they truly need immunization. By minimizing the number of vaccines your pet receives, you are improving its health and still reducing illness. Talk with your doctor about this more natural approach. By using vaccine titers, you'll truly be personalizing the care you give your pet!
