No surprise here with labradors and spaniels.

Maze, Tari and Freya the greyhounds visited us last week for their titre testing.
What is titre testing? Titre testing is a blood test that measures a pet’s antibody levels against core diseases (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus) to determine immunity. This is an alternative to booster vaccinations.
They were all very brave and sat like statues for their blood tests.
