THE IMPORTANCE OF ANNUAL
CHECK-UPS, TITERS AND
BLOOD PANELS
We recommend keeping in
close touch with your
Veterinarian by means of
annual wellness check-ups,
including blood work and
titers. Blood panels are
an excellent way to
monitor your pets internal
well being and
they are an
excellent means of
preventative medicine.
Think of it as a way to
prove once a year that
your dog is thriving
inside and out! Titers are
a useful means of
monitoring antibodies to
viruses in your pet.
We often recommend taking
a blood panel before you
start the raw diet and
again 6 months to a year
after being on the diet as
a good way for you and
your Veterinarian to
monitor together your
dog’s progress. Don’t
forget, Raw-fed dogs are
an important point of
reference for all Vets, so
it is important that they
have access to these dogs,
especially when they are
healthy.
A NOTE ON VACCINES
Vaccines are an important
topic. A growing number of
Vets are acknowledging
some of the hazards of
over-vaccination.
We recommend that everyone
learn more about vaccines
in order to decide with
their Vet what’s best for
their dog. Ask your Vet
about titers, which are
tests that can be used to
monitor levels of
antibodies remaining in
your dog. If your dog
shows adequate titers,
there should be no reason
to vaccinate.
There is plenty of
scientific information
available to help you gain
the knowledge you need to
make informed decisions
about vaccines.
