​

The test checks if your dog has generated antibodies to Distemper, Hepatitis and Parvo virus. The results can be used to inform the need for future vaccinations against these diseases.

​

The recommended timing for this test is  from 20 weeks of age (and at least 2 weeks after the last vaccination) and before the first "booster vaccine" which would be due at 15 months of age.  

For adult dogs, after the 15 months initial booster, revaccination for these diseases will be offered every three years, a titre test is a sensible way to ensure immunity without exposing your dog to unnecessary vaccines. 

​

Immunity against Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough is NOT checked by this test, so decision making about vaccines for these diseases will be based on a risk/benefit assessment for your individual dog.
