laffi Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Does anyone know where you can get a titer test in Sydney that is reasonably priced? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeak Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Not sure - I would probably try ringing "All Natural Vets" at Russel Lea and asking them. www.naturalvet.com.au or 9712 5844 Please let us know if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks heaps . They told me the costs: the blood test (lab fee) is $99 + the consult fee of $79.50. So total is $180 ( well $178.5 to be precise ). In Brisbane I was able to get the consult + titer test for $70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysup Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I would ring around! I do that for all expensive things I need done, and you would be surprised in the differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Brisbane I was able to get the consult + titer test for $70. That's more expensive than I thought, especially for the consult fee. I'd be ringing around as well - try phoning Sylvania Vet Clinic & also Heathcote Vet Clinic (at Heathcote). There is another vet clinic at Kirrawee, I think on the Highway or President Ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximum Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 There's a vet at Lane Cove that does it - they did my cats for rabies. No idea of the cost, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Any vet can titre test as all labs offer it. It's just a matter of finding one who sends the blood directly to VetPath in WA, otherwise you end up paying more because the other labs charge their fee for handling the blood and sending it on.

laffi Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Has anyone recently titer tested their dog in Sydney area? I have been quoted $180 and I am hoping someone knows a better option than this. I did call about 10 vets, most of them never heard of it and were unwilling to investigate further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Did you call Gladesville? I know they do it. I Luv Amstaffs has already posted that it's cheaper than your quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black magic Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Have you tried calling any of the vets in the wollongong area. I'm not sure if they do it, but it's worth a try, and not to far out of your way. Some nice dog beaches down here to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I was also quoted around $180 at my local vet. Haven't done it yet cause that is more expensive than vaccs! Hoping to find someone cheaper for titer tests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I know one who will be able to soon - will let you know when it starts happening and how much, though will be less than $180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laffi Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Did you call Gladesville?I know they do it. I Luv Amstaffs has already posted that it's cheaper than your quote. I called St Ives, as it seemed even cheaper than Gladesville. The St Ives one is: "The total cost to have a blood test done for distemper and parvovirus will be $167.20. This includes a standard consultation ($55) and the blood test itself ($112.20)." btw Gladesville is supposed to call me back with the quote too.

Quickasyoucan Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Has anyone recently titer tested their dog in Sydney area?I have been quoted $180 and I am hoping someone knows a better option than this. I did call about 10 vets, most of them never heard of it and were unwilling to investigate further Why is it that vets seem unwilling to be proactive? Is it because they worry about losing out on the fees for vaccs? I would think they would want to be following updates on vaccination protocols. I am sure I read somewhere that the American Veterinary Association has re-issued protocols with a recommendation for a 3 year regime for certain vaccs? My vet raised their eyebrows when I told them I didn't want the Proheart 12 injection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Laffi - post to the oz-obedience list and see if somebody can recommend a vet, or has had one done recently. Penny the vet is in WA at the moment for an AADA Trial, and not sure where she operates from, but she may do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
