How do Antibody Titer Tests Work? 

Historical Background

Nature of Firm 

Fond du Lac Titer Clinic is a business existing both on and offline, dedicated to the health and longevity of pet dogs and cats. We offer blood titer tests, which we test in our own laboratory, to measure the amount of antibodies present towards various diseases. From there, we are able to make a scientifically-based recommendation to vaccinate at that time or to wait until the present vaccine dissipates even more. If a particular injection is needed at the time of the appointment, we offer those services as well, but we will not give any vaccines without confirming the need for one through a titer test first. Fond du Lac Titer Clinic will also offer educational seminars on pet health to interested consumers.
