Comments on Titer Testing: Wasting Your Money?

My schnauzer has food allergies and IBS. Currently he is eating Hills z/d as everything else appears to make him very ill. I don't like this food but have tried various types of natural, grain free foods, nothing worked. I am wondering if much of his condition is related to his reaction to vaccinations. He has broken out in hives with the vaccinations and has to have Benedryl. If he doesn't have shots, he can't go to play day which he loves. I am torn!!!
Can anyone help?

I am new to this but normally have stopped vaccinating my dogs when they hit about 8 even before I started to get a little smarter, just a "feeling" i had. so when I sign up to do the rally obedience and they require current vaccinations, I am assuming this would be a good time to do a titer if they accept that.....not wanting to ask dumb questions, I feel a bit awkward being new to this site, but I do have something like this coming up. I'd really like to do something like this, but it seems like everyone requires vaccinations. If it comes to that, I will do my own little thing in my own back yard, but my guy would just love doing this. so would I. any input? thanks so much. Pat

I was always under the impression that titers were necessary if I chose not to vaccinate; however, looking back on my original comment I realize now that the main reason for having the titers done was more for my vet's office than for me or my dogs. No more! Thanks again for wonderful information.
