What is a Titre Test?

A titre test is a blood test which measures the antibody levels to various disease in your dogs' blood. If they have adequate antibody levels present, then this is proof of immunity and shows that they do not need a booster vaccination. In fact, they are better proof of immunity than vaccinating, as some dogs do not respond to vaccinations. If you have a non-responder (more common in black & tan breeds) then you could give a vaccine every year and they may never produce antibodies or mount an adequate immune response, and so not be protected at all.

What Diseases are Tested?

The titre tests we use measure antibody levels to Parvovirus, Distemper and Hepatits - the 3 core diseases dogs are vaccinated against.

What will Happen on the Day?

All that will happen on the clinic day is we will take a blood sample from your dog, and make note of their previous vaccine history (so please bring this with you). That's it!

When Should I do a Titre Test?

Titre tests can be done at any time. However, the best time to do one is shortly before your dog is due their booster vaccination, so you know whether they need it or not. They are especially important in young dogs, as if a puppy finishes their vaccine course before 16 weeks then the vaccines may not have been effective, due to maternal antibodies still being present, which can block the action of the vaccine. A titre test can be performed any time from 1 month after a vaccine.

How Often Shoud I do a Titre Test?

Titre tests should be performed as often as needed. If you have a strong positive result then it is best to repeat the test every 3 years. If they have any borderline or low results, then it may be worthwhile repeating the test the following year, especially if it is the Parvovirus result that is low, as this is the most prevelant of these diseases. Your results will be sent out to you shortly after the clinic day, with recommendations for when it will next be due.

Why Should I Titre Test?

Titre tests allow you to avoid over-vaccination of your pet. At each vaccination, there is always a risk of a vaccine reaction, either immediately, or delayed. There are also various immune mediated diseases that have been linked with vaccination, with evidence suggesting the vaccine can act as a trigger for the disease process. These include immune mediated haemolytic anaemia, immune mediated thrombocytopaenia & immune mediated skin diseases.

Garden adventure - aka sensory garden for dogs

Did you know that you can turn your garden into an adventure for your dog? And it doesn't have to be expensive, or take up the whole garden. Just a few dog safe plants such as lavender, chamomile, marigolds and thyme, planted in a corner or along the border with a little path for easy access all around or enough space for your dog to lay down amongst them, is just as enriching as if you were to go all out. With tunnels, sniffing area, different floor textures such as gravel, rubber, slabs, pebbles, sand, to paddling pool, sand box, ramps, or a maze filled with the things listed and then some.

Adding a variety of texture; grass, sand, mulch, ect enhances their tactile experience. Adding variety of plants not only smell good, but can have great medicinal benefits, lavender is well known for calming, while chamomile can help relieve minor pain.

Creating such an environment for your dog provides fantastic mental stimulation, body awareness. These gardens provide a stimulating environment that encourages exploration, play, and relaxation, catering to the natural instincts and needs of dogs which can help reduce stress, reduce boredom, enhance bonding and boost both mental and physical exercise

A request for all you lovely people on here :). I'm starting a new project this year and I would love your help :).

I'm after some nice clear videos of different dog breeds, (pure breeds to start with) trotting past the camera and a nice clear side image of a dog breed standing. This will be for a new project that'll be freely available by the public.

If you're happy to have your dog seen by others, I would really appreciate the help.

you can post your image or video on here or send via messenger.

The more different breeds collected, the better this project will be :) and once finished I will send you a link for you to see how your image was used before posting it publicly to ensure that you are happy with it. :)

Thank you 🙏
