Michael,

I would love to go on a 3 year schedule to vaccinate Cody in regards to the Lepto and Parvo - I know the pharmaceutical companies along with the vets make money off these vaccinations; I am saying one has to be comfortable in weighing what chances they are willing to take if they decide to go the 3 year route and to have a vet knowledgeable to support ones decision.

Wouldn't it be great if at the time of vaccinations, our vets could run a simple blood test that could assess the serum antibody titers and we could be assured that our pets were still protected. I know some places are doing this, and I thought my vet had mentioned Cornell last time I spoke with him - so that may be an option, but once again, I don't know
what the cost of that test is.

Michael, do you have any articles written by these British vets that are on the internet that you could direct me to.

Linda
