Matt Lang Webboard User Reg: 07-11-2008 Posts: 291 Loc: Northern California Offline	Hi everybody - do you guys usually do the 1 yr booster for parvo/distemper? I usually do titer tests but I don't remember about the 1yr boost. My vet seems to think we should do the 1yr boost & then titer tests after that.

I usually do titer tests but I don't remember about the 1yr boost. My vet seems to think we should do the 1yr boost & then titer tests after that. I checked the Jean Dodds minimal-vax recommendations, to which I've always referred, and she says about the one-year booster: "1 year old Distemper + Parvovirus, MLV This is an optional booster or titer. If the client intends not to booster after this optional booster or intends to retest titers in another three years, this optional booster at puberty is wise." https://drjeandoddspethealthresource.tumblr.com/post/147595920886/dodds-vaccination-protocol-dogs-2016#.WZXtX62ZNGI Of course, I'm not a health professional. Dr. Dodds is, though. http://www.hemopet.org/education/jean-dodds-veterinarian.html JMO!

JMO .... if my vet's recommendation agreed with the Jean Dodds minimal vax suggestions, I'd be pretty happy.

I did titers in order to get one of my dogs entered in a scent training class and it was excepted with no issues at all. His titer shot was 5-6 yrs after his puppy shots and there was still active protection. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Here's a discussion of it: https://drjeandoddspethealthresource.tumblr.com/post/158029330221/leptospirosis-in-dogs#.WZZ1YK2ZNGI There's more stuff linked below in the references. Also, https://drjeandoddspethealthresource.tumblr.com/post/124510474596/leptospirosis-vaccine#.WZZ2BK2ZNGI Also, Mary Strauss is a non-vet who I refer to very often for dog nutrition and health issues. http://dogaware.com/health/vaccinations.html Scroll down past INFLUENZA and past BACTERIAL DISEASES, and LEPTO is next. There is a risk-benefit discussion of the vax.
