Sample Requirements
Fecal: Collect a grape-sized fecal sample using the supplies in your kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this and the PCR parasite test?
This test uses microscopy to look for parasite eggs. The PCR test detects parasite DNA and catches significantly more infections — including organisms invisible to microscopy. This basic screen is a good starting point; the PCR panel is for deeper analysis.
How often should I test my pet for parasites?
Veterinary guidelines recommend parasite screening at least 1–2 times per year for adult pets, and more frequently for puppies, kittens, and pets with outdoor access.
Can I collect the sample at home?
Yes. Simply collect a fecal sample and mail it with the free prepaid FedEx label.
