Replies on Avoid These 7 Common Titer Testing Mistakes for Pet Health

I have a 14 week old puppy and the breeder already gave distemper, adenovirus 2, parvovirus, parainfluenza 3x and lepto 2x. My vet gave her bordatella while she had coccidia. She's finally getting back to normal after being treated with metranidazole and albon. Could I test for titers this early? I'd like to avoid over vaccinating as I think that has contributed to health issues with our previous dogs and 1 cat that died shortly after. I've got puppy on heart worm and flea and tick prevention also already (nexguard and heartguard). We live by farms and there is quite a bit of wildlife around our property.

Thank you!

I have two non vaccinated girls and the male is also non vaccinated. We had four pups a few days ago. If pups get parvo at what age would it be noticed and what do I look for if pups get parvo? Can the non vaccinated mom get parvo if the babies have it? Everyone has been on a raw diet for years. The pups are not vaccinated before leaving my home. Some of the new puppy owners vaccinate at 17 weeks and some are not vaccinating at all. How can parvo get into our home? When people visit they take off their shoes. They wash their hands before touching my pups and moms. If I suspect they have been to another home with animals then I have a robe they wear over their clothes. When pups visit the vet I have the first appointment of the day. I'm put in a room that is least used and I put a towel down on the scale and table. Is there any other precautions I can take and how will I know if parvo is present and at what age?
