Titer Testing

Would you like to have another option to protect your pet from over-vaccination and the risk of contracting a life-threatening disease at the same time? If you answered YES then we would like to invite you to learn more about titer testing.

A titer test is a simple blood test that measures an animal's antibodies to vaccine viruses (or other infectious agents). Titers accurately assess protection to the so-called “core” diseases (distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis in dogs, and panleukopenia in cats), enabling veterinarians to judge whether a booster vaccination is necessary.

Here at Universally Holistic Services, we believe vaccinations are necessary; however, over-vaccinating serves no purpose, except creating possible future health complications for our animal friends. Therefore, we do recommend and offer titer testing as a service.

The laboratory of choice is the laboratory of Kansas State Veterinary diagnostic Laboratory because they are world renowned for their titer testing. And give the best pricing due to their university status, collaboration with the rabbis challenge fund and other grants. Based on pet's species, age and species, we will will provide you with suggestions if a pet should receive a booster shot or not. We also have certificates of immunization for additional cost.
