Fecal Exam: Testing for Parasites

Fecal tests check for intestinal parasites such as Giardia, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and coccidia.

Why Fecal Exams Are Important

• Routine screening: Even if your pet’s stools appear normal, testing once or twice a year helps detect hidden parasites.
• Health risks: Parasites can cause serious intestinal problems in pets and may sometimes be transmitted to humans.
• Targeted treatment: Specific treatments are prescribed based on test results.

Regular fecal exams help keep both your pet and your family healthy.
