Quick and Accurate Parasite Detection

About the Service

Intestinal parasites can affect the health and well-being of both pets and farm animals. Detecting them early is essential to preventing disease, reducing the risk of spread, and ensuring proper treatment. Our in-house faecal testing service (OvaCyte) provides fast and reliable screening for parasites, helping to identify infections before they become serious problems.

Regular faecal testing allows us to detect common parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, and coccidia, which can cause digestive issues and other health complications. By offering rapid in-house results, we can provide prompt treatment recommendations to keep your animals healthy and parasite-free.

Why Does My Pet or Herd Need This Service?

Parasites can often go unnoticed until symptoms become severe. Routine faecal screening helps prevent outbreaks, reducing the risk of transmission to other animals and even humans. Symptoms of intestinal parasites may include weight loss, diarrhoea, bloating, and a dull coat, but in many cases, pets and farm animals may show no visible signs at all.

By incorporating faecal testing into regular veterinary care, you can:

• Detect parasites early and begin treatment immediately.
• Reduce the risk of reinfection and spread within your home or farm.
• Improve the overall health and productivity of your animals.
• Ensure that your pet or herd meets health and biosecurity standards.

What to Expect

Our in-house faecal testing is a simple, non-invasive process. You will be asked to provide a fresh stool sample from your pet or livestock. Our veterinary team will then analyse the sample using advanced diagnostic techniques to detect the presence of eggs, larvae, or parasites.

• Fast Results: Our in-house laboratory allows us to provide same-day results, meaning treatment can begin as soon as possible.
• Preventative Screening: Regular testing helps identify infections before they cause major health concerns.
• Customised Treatment Plans: If parasites are detected, we will recommend targeted treatment solutions tailored to your animal’s specific needs.
