The blood can be mailed into Hemopet or the lab doing the titer test. It needs to be kept cold; a gel ice pack works well. Check out the different places as costs vary. I know a vet in our area who charges $400 for the same titer test we paid $80 for. Dr. Whitecoat strikes again.

Rabies titers are processed by the Kansas State University Rabies Laboratory. You want the RFFIT Rabies Vaccine Response Titer Test - Not for Pet Travel. The actual test is RFFIT-Rabies Antibody Endpoint, and KSU's fee is $65. A submission form and instructions for your vet are available from http://www.ksvdl.org/rabies-laboratory/rffit-tests/. Your vet will charge for drawing and shipping the blood sample.

Go to hemopet.com. print out the form for rabies titer. Take it with your dog to your vet and he will do the blood draw as per the instructions on the sheet. He then couriers it to hemopet (this is Jean Dodd's clinic). Attach a note asking for her comments. She will say in writing that the dog is adequately or more than adequately protected. Her fee is $75. Your vet will charge for blood draw. Let it be known I had (on a whim/hunch) 7 year old of mine who has never been vax for anything, titered for rabies. He came back MORE than adequate protection. He had never eaten bait drops.
