Our extended lungworm screen covers the following parasites:
Lungworm screening can be particularly useful for dogs with increased exposure risks. For example, we recommend considering this test for:
Our laboratory team uses two complementary testing techniques to provide a broader screening approach for lungworm and other respiratory parasites.
Collect faecal samples over three consecutive days. This is essential for reliable lungworm screening, as parasites may shed larvae or eggs intermittently rather than continuously. Collecting samples across three days increases the likelihood of detection and helps reduce the risk of a false-negative result.
Our trained laboratory team examines and reviews each sample before issuing clear, easy to understand results.
The test includes free after test advice where required.
We report whether lungworm larvae or relevant parasite eggs were detected in the submitted faecal sample.
Our extended canine lungworm screen uses specialist laboratory methods to look for respiratory and nasal parasites that may shed larvae or eggs in faeces. The screen includes:
We report whether relevant larvae or eggs were detected and, where appropriate, identify the parasite and assess the findings.
Lungworm larvae and eggs may be shed intermittently. Faecal samples collected over three consecutive days are essential for this screening procedure.
Every sample is carefully analysed by our trained laboratory team, with all results reviewed before your results are issued by email.
Your report clearly shows what we have tested for, whether any parasites were detected, and any relevant measurements. This helps you understand your results and make informed decisions about your animal’s parasite management, with free after test advice available whenever needed.
Turnaround time: We issue worm count results within 24 hours of the sample arriving at our laboratory. Please note: Laboratory testing is undertaken Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. Weekends and bank holidays are not included in our stated turnaround times.
Sample collection: Collect a fresh, representative faecal sample and follow the instructions supplied with your kit.
Results: We email your report once the laboratory examination and review are complete.
Your kit includes the materials needed to collect and return your faecal sample(s) to our laboratory:
Each kit is for one dog. Please follow the sample collection instructions supplied.
