FECAL
We offer convenient in-house fecal testing to help keep your dog healthy and our daycare safe. Regular screenings allow us to check for parasites early and ensure all pups in our care are happy, healthy, and ready to play. Simply bring a sample on your scheduled day, and we’ll take care of the rest!
In-House Fecal Testing
WHY
Parasites can be harmful—even if your dog shows no signs. Regular testing protects your dog, your household, and other pets. We monitor closely because we only want the best for your furry friend!
WHERE
Parasite exposure can happen anywhere—at your local dog park, in your backyard, on walks and hikes, or from other pets in your home. That’s why we provide routine parasite screening for all dogs in our care.
HOW
We use the veterinarian-approved laboratory fecal test, which screens for common parasites including giardia, hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, coccidia, and more. The process is roughly:
● Schedule a date to drop a fecal sample using the form below. It can coincide with a scheduled daycare or boarding reservation, or even without a reservation
● Bring the fecal sample on the scheduled date
● We send the sample to a nationally certified veterinary laboratory, so you can trust the results
● We usually receive results in 1-2 business days. We will forward them to you and update our records
● If the result is positive, then you will need to obtain a prescription from your vet and quarantine your dog for X days. We will have to cancel any reservations during that period. Afterwards, your dog can return and does not require another test.
WHEN
We require fecal parasite testing every six (6) months for all pets in our care, following the recommendations of the Companion Animal Parasite Council. Simply bring your dog’s sample to us, and we’ll take care of the rest!
