Frequently asked questions – Tick Fever (Ehrlichia Antibody) Test for Dogs
Why test for Ehrlichia after tick exposure?
Ehrlichia canis is transmitted through tick bites, and symptoms may not always appear immediately. Testing can provide useful first information after possible exposure.
Can Ehrlichia cause vague symptoms in dogs?
Yes. Ehrlichia infection may cause fatigue, fever, appetite changes, stiffness, weight loss or reduced overall condition, which can overlap with other health issues.
How is this different from the 4 in 1 Tick Test for Dogs?
This test focuses on antibodies to Ehrlichia canis. The 4 in 1 Tick Test screens more broadly for antibodies linked to Ehrlichia, Lyme disease (Borrelia), Anaplasma and Babesia gibsoni.

4.6/5 (7)
- 4/5 — Quite an okay product. It took a little while to figure out how to get the blood sample from the dog, but once that was done, the test itself was very quick to read. Nice to avoid going to the clinic for an initial check.
- 5/5 — Fast delivery. The instructions were clear, I think. Good to be able to test at home when you're worried after the tick season.
- 4/5 — Bra test som ger svar direkt, men det var lite pilligt att få tillräckligt med blod.
- 4/5 — The test arrived quickly and the packaging was intact. Unfortunately, it was a bit fiddly to perform on a dog that won't sit still, so you need to be two people. But the result came in just 10 minutes as promised, so that was convenient.
