Parasite Screen

Parasite screen for dogs and cats - meaningful parasite and worm check

During the parasitological examination for dogs and cats, the feces are examined for worms, giardia and coccidia. We recommend to examine the feces at regular intervals, every 3 months, regarding worm or parasite infestation. This examination uses the so-called flotation method and another special sedimentation method for direct detection of parasites, eggs and protozoa (protozoa).

We work closely with our laboratory partner VETSCREEN, who with over 20 years of experience offer exclusive laboratory diagnostics for veterinary practitioners. In addition, you will receive concrete recommendations from our veterinary practitionersto support the digestion of your furry nose in a natural way.

Procedure and implementation

1. You will receive everything you need for the test, i.e. the complete shipping material to the laboratory.
2. You fill the fecal tube 3/4 full with your quadruped's feces. It is important that you collect the feces over 3 days, because the parasites are not excreted every day.
3. You fill in the form you receive.
4. You send the tube and the completed form to the laboratory in the enclosed envelope.
5. After approx. 2-3 weeks you will receive the laboratory result, the evaluation as well as recommendations and a shopping list, prepared by our animal healers. In addition, we offer you the opportunity to be advised again personally by a therapist.
