What is titer testing and is it effective? - Neighborhood Vets Mobile Care
A titer test is a test for antibodies in the blood against a disease, for example, rabies. However, the titer does not infer immune feed. This means your dog may have a titer for Parvo, but yet might still be susceptible.

What are the non-core vaccinations, and why would my cat need them? - Neighborhood Vets Mobile Care
The non-core vaccinations include feline leukemia and FIP. In addition to the core vaccination for rabies and respiratory diseases (feline panleukopenia, feline rhinotracheitis, and calicivirus), these may be necessary if your cat interacts with other cats outdoors, or if there are other situations where they might be exposed to these diseases. If you're bringing in feral cats or temporary pets into your home, you might want to consider these vaccines.
