🐾 TITRE TESTING RETURNING TO IMPERIAL PETS 🐾
We’re pleased to announce that we now offer titre testing again and will soon be holding another canine titre testing clinic at Imperial Pets on a Saturday afternoon over the coming weeks (date to be confirmed). But now, waiting for clinic dates isn’t the only option….
Titre testing is a blood test used to check whether your dog still has protective antibody levels against core diseases such as distemper, hepatitis and parvovirus, helping owners make informed decisions about unnecessary repeat vaccinations. An option for cats is also available.
🩸 Blood samples taken on site
📧 Results emailed within 24 hours
📍 Held at Imperial Pets, Chester
📥 Sample drop off option available
The clinic will be run by myself, Claire (Registered Veterinary Nurse), alongside Dr Graham Hines MRCVS — an experienced holistic veterinary surgeon with many years of experience in natural and holistic pet care.
More information about Graham and his services can be found at:

We will also be offering an alternative option for owners who cannot attend the clinic, or who require testing between clinic dates. In these cases, your own veterinary practice can take the blood sample, which can then be brought to us for testing.
To purchase the test only option when providing your own sample please click this link and it will give you instructions in the description 👉🏻 https://bit.ly/4wRTL4Y
Please note that charges for blood sampling at veterinary practices may vary, so we would recommend contacting your practice directly for pricing. Based on enquiries so far, this may typically cost in the region of £40–£60.
If you are in the Saltney area, or are able to travel there, Ben Jones Veterinary Practice has kindly offered to carry out blood sampling for clients at a competitive price. For further details or to arrange blood sampling with them directly, please contact 📞 01244 629999 - ask for blood sample pricing for an external titre test (as discussed with Imperial Pets).
Please note:
• Samples must be brought to us within 24 hours
• Samples should be refrigerated if they cannot be delivered on the same day
💷 Pricing:
🐶 Imperial Pets Titre Testing Clinic
£75 per dog
🧪 Standalone Titre Test
(Where your own vet takes the blood sample)
£49 per dog
There may also be the possibility of future cat titre testing. However, this would require blood samples to be taken by your own vet, as bringing cats into the store environment for blood sampling would not be appropriate.
🦠 Please note that not all diseases can be tested for and some vaccines are still required depending on your pet’s environmental exposure. The purpose of this is to cease unnecessary vaccinations where immunity can be strongly suggested by antibody presence and to reduce the risk of potential acute vaccine reactions and chronic side effects of over-vaccination.
If this is something you may be interested in, please comment below, send us a message, or ask to join the waiting list so we can gauge interest and prioritise dates.
