"We at Biogal see this as an ideal opportunity to present to our customers a product that can assist in reducing over vaccination and subsequent potential adverse reactions for dogs" said Amos Gershony, Biogal's General Manager.

The Canine VacciCheck kit is intended to be used as a diagnostic tool to evaluate the antibody response to the core vaccination or infection by Infectious Canine Hepatitis, Canine Parvovirus and Distemper Virus.

HI Kris - I assume it is still a titer test through blood? It doesn't say on the link. Is the difference that vets can do the test at their surgery and have an answer in 20 mins....? rather than sending the blood away, or am I missing something? Not that we are likely to get it over in the UK for at least another 50 years I imagine.......

Yes, it is a blood test that can be done in your vet's office rather than sending samples out to a lab, which can take days or weeks to get results back from. I believe it is a pass/fail result rather than giving a specific antibody count, which is what you would receive from a lab.

Here's the contact information if you want to ask them about getting it in the UK:
