Pet Titer Testing
When it comes to vaccinations, we at New Moon Integrative Veterinary Care believe in doing only what’s necessary. Our pet titer testing services in Hudson, MA, offer a science-based way to check your pet’s existing immunity and avoid unnecessary boosters. It’s a thoughtful, informed approach to preventive care that supports both safety and well-being.
What Is Pet Titer Testing?
Titer testing involves drawing a small blood sample and sending it to a diagnostic lab to measure your pet’s antibody levels for certain diseases, usually core vaccines like:
Rabies
Distemper
Parvovirus
If antibody levels are high, your pet is still protected and does not need to be re-vaccinated. If levels are low or non-detectable, we may recommend a booster to ensure full immunity.
We often include titer testing in wellness exams for adult pets, seniors, or animals with chronic conditions or vaccine sensitivities.
Massachusetts law requires rabies vaccination, and titers are not always accepted.
