A proven method of determining if an animal has a parasitic worm infestation is by looking for the presence of worm eggs in the animals stools.  By using worm egg counts as part of your animal’s health regime you can reduce the need for giving your pet regular worming tablets.  This avoids the overuse of chemicals to treat for worms that may not be there.  With this method, we can also reduce the resistance that the parasites can develop through continuous use of chemicals that can then result in worming tables being less effective.

A kit will be sent for you to collect your sample, which will then be returned to the lab for testing.

Please note:
A Fecal egg count is a snap shot of a specific moment in time. The test detects eggs of mature parasites that live inside the body and pass their eggs to the outside by shedding them into the dogs stool’s. It is possible that at the time of testing the parasites are too young to produce eggs, if no eggs are being shed the infection cannot be detected. There is also a possibility the eggs are In such small numbers at the time of testing they would be undetectable Thus showing a negative result.

The above is extremely rare but we would like to point out the possibilities.
