Description
Titre Test for Dogs
Stop guessing. Start knowing.
Still giving yearly boosters… just in case?
You want to protect your dog — not give treatments they might not actually need.
👉 This test tells you if your dog is already protected.

Your dog is tested for immunity to:
- Canine Parvovirus
- Canine Distemper
- Canine Infectious Hepatitis
👉 These are the core diseases that vaccines target
Important to know:
This test does NOT cover leptospirosis. That’s because immunity to lepto cannot be reliably measured with titre testing. We believe in complete transparency — and always recommend discussing results with your vet.
Many dogs are already protected
But without testing — you’re guessing.
This test gives you certainty.

Is titre testing reliable?
Yes — widely used to assess immunity and guide vaccination decisions.
When should I titre test?
Titre tests can be performed at any stage of a dog’s life. However, the best time is shortly before they are due their booster. This lets you know if they actually need a booster or not.
If you are wanting to titre test a puppy, it is best to wait until 3–4 weeks after their vaccination.
How do I interpret the results?
The higher the number, the higher the titre or concentration of antibodies. The reporting range is from 0 (no antibodies detected) to 6. The results are always relative to a positive control.
A score of 2 and above is considered positive, meaning the animal is protected.
What if immunity is low?
You can vaccinate confidently, knowing it’s necessary.
How often should I titre test?
The frequency of repeat titre testing is at the discretion of the owner. If your previous titre test result was borderline positive (1 or 2), then you may want to titre test sooner than if the result was a strong positive (3+).
Antibody titres can wane as animals get older and there may be a point at which an older dog may need revaccination. However, this decision should be made based on a risk analysis that considers age, potential side effects from vaccination in older dogs, and any existing medical conditions.
You may feel that if you have younger dogs you are happy with testing less frequently. If you are testing to satisfy the requirements of a third party (for example, a dog boarder, kennel, or council licensing body), please check their recommendations.
How soon do I test my puppy?
We recommend testing at 16 weeks, or 3–4 weeks after vaccination.
Do I still need a vet?
Yes — a quick blood sample is required (usually 5 minutes).
