Please Note
A fecal egg count captures a momentary snapshot of the parasite activity within the body. The test detects eggs from mature parasites that release them into the dog’s stool. However, if the parasites are still immature and not yet producing eggs, or if the egg count is very low at the time of testing, the infection might not be detected, resulting in a negative result.
Although these occurrences are uncommon, it’s important to be aware of these possibilities.
All POOZ kits contain a prepaid returns envelope. Kits can be posted in a standard letterbox, saving you the trip to a post office.
