Expert Answer

To confirm a dog’s vaccination was successful, a veterinarian can run a titer test that measures protective antibody levels in the blood. A strong titer indicates the dog has built immunity.

Not every dog needs routine titer testing, but it is useful if you want proof of protection. Completing the full vaccine schedule on time gives the best chance of success.
