Vetscreen Diarrhea Screen

Diarrhea Screen - meaningful intestinal analysis for dogs and cats + recommendations of our veterinary practitioners

The intestines of our pets are very sensitive and can react to various environmental influences, medications or feeding errors with visible problems such as diarrhea or a soft, mucousy feces.

Pathogenic microorganisms have often colonized and displaced the physiological microbiome of the intestine. But also intestinal parasites such as worms or giardia and dysfunctions of the pancreas can bring the sensitive intestinal environment into imbalance.

With the diarrhea screen, we can specifically test possible causes for the intestinal problems. We work closely with our laboratory partner VETSCREEN, who offer exclusive laboratory diagnostics for veterinary practitioners with over 20 years of experience. You will also receive concrete recommendations from our veterinary practitionersto support the digestion of your furry nose in a natural way.

When to perform a diarrhea screen:

• For diarrhea or vomiting
• For slimy or soft feces
• For undigested food components in the feces
• For ocher colored feces
• For weight loss and cravings
• In case of excessive feces or grass eating
• For coat or skin problems

This is what you get from Vetscreen & Waldkraft: 

• A meaningful laboratory analysis on the following parameters:
• Parasitological examination
