This is a Standard Worm Count Test + Lungworm Test that screens for the following parasites with their English and Latin names, which is useful if veterinary treatment is required.
The test will identify all species present within the family groups of:
- Roundworms
- Hookworms
- Whipworms
- Tapeworms
- Lungworm
*Tapeworms are very intermittent shedders and do not always show on a worm egg test. As they may not have been present when the sample was taken, it is advisable to do a regular count (4 times a year).
Worm Count Test:
This test requires one sample in total. Post the sample on the day of collection to make sure they’re as fresh as possible when they arrive at the lab. Open the kit. Take a sample of your dog’s poo from that day using the small spoon provided. Put the sample into the sample pouches, dispose of the spoon! Fill out the labels with your details. Put the sample pouch into the freezer bag then into the prepaid post bag.
Lungworm Test:
This is a three day test requiring three samples in total. Post the samples on day three to make sure they’re as fresh as possible when they arrive at the lab. Open the kit. Take a sample of your dog’s poo from that day using the small spoon provided. Put the sample into one of the sample pouches, dispose of the spoon! Repeat for days two and three. Fill out the labels with your details. Put the sample pouches into the freezer bag then into the prepaid post bag.
Try to take the samples Monday to Thursday so the samples are not waiting in the post box for a couple of days.
The results are emailed to you within 5 days of receipt of the samples.
