The purpose of vaccinating dogs against rabies is to establish pre-exposure immunity and protect individual animals from contracting rabies. The aim of the study was to investigate factors associated with reaching the internationally accepted threshold antibody titre of IU mL after rabies vaccination of dogs. Methods The study was a prospective single cohort study including 6 789 samples from Swedish dogs vaccinated with commercially available vaccines in Sweden and the dog s antibody responses were determined by the OIE approved FAVN test. Information on potential risk factors breed age gender date of vaccination vaccine label and the number of vaccinations was collected for each dog. Associations between the dependent variable serological response IU mL or IU mL and each of the potential risk factors were investigated using logistic regression analysis. Results Of 6 789 vaccinated dogs 6 241 had an approved test result of IU mL. The results of the multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that vaccinating with vaccine B reduced the risk of having antibody titres of IU mL by times compared with vaccination using vaccine A. Breed size was found significant as an interaction with number of vaccinations and age at vaccination as an interaction with day of antibody testing after last vaccination. In summary larger breeds were at higher risk of having antibody titres of IU mL but if .
