5 common parasites detected | PCR screening for worms | Dedicated Giardia ELISA | Works for dogs AND cats
PCR Detection for Common Intestinal Worms
Our PCR technology detects DNA from hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, and coccidia with high accuracy. Unlike traditional microscopy that can miss parasites depending on timing and sample quality, PCR catches infections even with low parasite loads.
Giardia ELISA: Catching the Parasite Others Miss
Standard fecal flotation tests miss Giardia 50-70% of the time. Our dedicated Giardia ELISA test uses antibody detection to accurately identify this parasite that causes chronic diarrhea and is notoriously difficult to detect.
Frequently Asked Questions

What parasites does this test detect?

How accurate is this test compared to testing at the vet?
Our test uses the same PCR and ELISA technologies used by veterinary reference labs.

I like the concept and the parsite screening helped us narrow things down, but the cost felt high for our budget. I’d use it again for a new pet or ongoing stomach issues, just not as often.
Our kitten had diarrhea and we wanted to rule out parasites without an immediate appointment. Everything in the kit was organized and it was reassuring to get a clear answer.
The results were easy to understand and helpful for deciding whether to follow up. Collecting the sample wasn’t hard, but it’s still not my favorite task.
We were trying to avoid paying for several separate tests at the vet. This felt like a more affordable way to screen for the common stuff and decide what to do next.
The kit was very easy to use and return. I took off one star only because shipping time adds a little waiting, but the results turnaround after the lab got it was solid.
