Collecting and storing your lungworm samples
It is essential that lungworm screen samples are stored above refrigeration temperature i.e. above 5 degrees Celsius. Please don't store your samples for days 1 and 2 in a fridge or freezer. Somewhere cool is fine, under a plant pot for example, or in the shed, as long as the temperature is over 5 degrees C.
Do the wormcount test if
- You raw feed
- You live in a lungworm hotspot
- You don’t worm your dog at all, or unless they need it
- You want to check that your regular worming schedule is providing cover
- Your dog is prone to fleas (fleas carry tapeworm eggs)
- Your dog mixes with other dogs
- Your dog is a scavenger
Please note
A Faecal egg count is a snapshot of a specific moment in time. The test detects eggs of mature parasites that live inside the body and pass their eggs to the outside by shedding them into the dog's stool. It is possible that at the time of testing the parasites are too young to produce eggs, if no eggs are being shed the infection cannot be detected. There is also a possibility the eggs are in such small numbers at the time of testing they would be undetectable Thus showing a negative result. The above is extremely rare but we would like to point out the possibilities
