Good information and explaination

Do you know what a Titer Test is?

Shockingly, many pet owners have no idea!

A titer test is a laboratory or in-house veterinary test measuring the existence and level of antibodies (necessary to fight off disease) in your pet’s blood. Basically, it’s a test that will tell you whether or not you actually need to vaccinate your pet.

Why is this so important?

Because of what can happen if you over-vaccinate your pet! “Vaccinosis”, the name for the chronic disease, is caused by continued use of vaccines. These symptoms mimic the original disease in parts.

The most basic method for a titer is where your pet’s blood is drawn and sent away for testing. It ranges anywhere from $150 to $200. The most affordable method is the new “in house” testing procedure. This test is preformed at the vet clinic and it takes about 20mins to get the results. The price range is anywhere from $60 to $80!

According to truth4pets.org, “Although titer testing may cost somewhat more than vaccination in the short run, it is a bargain long term. Titers do not have to be repeated yearly or even every three years. By testing rather than vaccinating, you avoid the risk of adverse reactions from unnecessary vaccines and the accompanying cost of treatment.”

So now you know... :)

Read this if you are considering a dog....if you can’t commit to all that a dog brings, choose the plush version

You want a dog?

If you are not willing to mop up sick, dribble and p*e when he is a puppy, sick or old, choose the plush toy instead.
If you are not willing to spend lots of money on vet and pet food bills, choose the plush toy instead.
If you are not willing to take him for walks even at an unearthly hour and in the most unfortunate weather conditions, choose the plush toy instead.
If you are not willing to adapt your holiday traditions in a way that he is being taken care of properly, choose the plush toy instead.
If you are not willing to accept that your clothes might get dirty, drenched in sick, dribble or p*e, or covered with fur, choose the plush toy instead.
If you are not willing to cope with remote controls, mobiles or chair legs being chewed on, choose the plush toy instead.
If you are not willing to spend the next 15 years adapting your life to his, choose the plush toy instead.

But if you are willing to cope with all of the above and to receive years and years of joy, laughter and love in return, adopt your best friend. There are thousands and thousands out there waiting for loving forever homes. Emphasis being on “loving“ and “forever“.
