NEW: Giardia Lab testing

This is a great option for those who do not feel confident in carrying out the Giardia home test themselves.

A kit will be sent for you to collect your sample, which will then be returned to the lab for testing. Your kit will include a prepaid returns envelope, information leaflet and a quick prep collection tube. Results will be emailed the same day as your sample is received by the lab and for a positive result a text will also be sent so that you do not miss your results.

Instructions for use:

1. Hold the red part of the tube system and then turn anti clockwise. Remove the red end (containing the white tip) by pulling it up.

2. Insert the white part of the tip (that has notches on) in to the stool and turn 3 – 4 times in order for the sample to collect in the notches.

3. Replace the red part back in to the tube and twist clockwise to lock.

4. Place the whole tube system in to the bubble wrap bag and seal.

5. Complete your information form

6. Place both the bubble wrap bag (now containing your sample) and your leaflet in to the free post returns envelope.

7. Pop it in a standard letter box.

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.
