i go to a ton of pet events that require you to show proof of vaccinations upon entering the facility. also like the previous person stated if your dog was to attack another dog or bite a person, animal control would care what your titer test said about your vaccination levels. but i guess to each his own.

Laws are very strict in NiC about rabies but I don't get other vaccines . They don't go out of my yard and sure don't like to go. Best place for dog to pick up illness is floor at vets or a store. Never do that. We are soon to have bad storms ...bring us some cold weather....BOO.
