Do you know there is an alternative to worming your pets with chemicals?

I opted years ago to dump chemical worming after one of my dogs was really poorly following a reaction to the pharmaceutical chemicals contained in the product I was using.

Nowadays, I prefer to regularly faecal screen my pets for worms and lungworms to check to see if they actually have worms before I treat them. No worming product is a 'preventative' they do not stop your pet getting worms, they just get rid of them if they are present. So my approach is 'why risk the health of my dogs and waste money using worming products if they don't have them'!!

Our combined kit is provided and tested by Feclab and offers excellent value. The kit contains all you need to test for both lungworm and worms in Dogs or Cats. You purchase your kit from us, collect the samples in the pots provided (full instructions given), post your samples directly to Feclab in the postage paid envelope provided and the results are emailed to you usually within 2-3 working days.

If your pet is showing symptoms relating to Giardia or if you would like to specifically test for Giardia as part of your routine screening then we would recommend using our Giardia Antigen lab testing or Giardia Antigen Rapid home testing kit for this.
