Feclab Dog & Cat Worm Count Kits

Product Info

Conducting regular Faecal Egg Counts is an essential part of maintaining intestinal hygiene in your dog or cat. At Verm-X, we recommend a natural approach to intestinal health that uses a combination of Verm-X Original, a species appropriate diet and undertaking worm counts. 

These worm count kits are available in association with Feclab and contain a prepaid return postage envelope for you to send your samples directly to Feclab for testing. Feclab will contact you directly with your pet's results.

The standard Dog & Cat Worm Count Kit includes all you need to screen for the following types of worms in cats or dogs:

• Heartworm
• Tapeworm
• Roundworm
• Hookworm
• Coccidia
• Whipworm
• Giardia Cyst*

The Dog & Cat Worm Count & Lungworm Kit also includes screening for the following:

• Oslerus osleri (Canine Lungworm)
• Crenosoma vulpis (Fox Lungworm)
• Filaroides Hirth (Canine Lungworm)
• Eucoleus aerophiles (Hedgehog Lungworm)
• Angiostrongylus Vasorum (French Heartworm)
• Capillaria Aerophilus (Feline Bronchial Worm)
• Aelurostrongylus Abstrusus (Feline Lungworm)

*It is worth noting that this is reliant on the cyst being present within the sample provided. If your pet is showing symptoms relating to Giardia or if you would like to specifically test for Giardia as part of your routine screening then we would recommend using the Feclab Giardia Antigen lab test or Giardia Antigen Rapid home testing kit for this. (Giardia Antigen Performance characteristics: Relative sensitivity: 95.12% / Relative specificity: 95.87%).
