Why does my pet need a fecal test every 6 – 12 months?
There are a variety of intestinal parasites that your canine and feline pet are exposed to on a daily basis. Some of those parasites can be transmitted to their human companions. Most pets are infected by simply grooming themselves. Parasitic eggs are found in the soil where animals have defecated at one point in time. Your pet walks through it and maybe gets a little mud or dirt on their paws and licks it off during regular grooming. Once your pet inadvertently swallows the eggs they develop within your pet and are passed in their stool unknowingly, which then reinfects and contaminates the soil around your home. By testing the stool it’s allows us and you to know 99% accurately what your pet has been exposed to and treat accordingly.
