What do I do if I have multiple dogs in the same household?

Where possible, we recommend testing each animal individually, as this provides the most accurate and actionable results.


If required, dogs or cats can be tested as a group. To do this, collect a small, representative faecal sample from each animal and combine them into one sample pot before returning it to the laboratory.


Please note that group testing cannot determine parasite levels for each individual animal. If parasites are detected, individual testing may be recommended to guide appropriate management or treatment.
