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.

• 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)

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

Benefits of a wormcount test :

• Especially good if you don’t worm your dog
• Dogs who are raw fed, or scavengers 
• To find out if your current dog wormer is working
• For dogs who live in a lungworm hotspot
• To make sure your dog is protected by her current wormer
• Your dog is prone to fleas (fleas carry tapeworm eggs)

How often should I wormcount my dog?

We recommend doing a worm count four times a year, and lungworm test six times a year.

When to worm count :

Worm egg counts can be done any time from 14 days after worming. We don't recommend doing a test beforehand as the worming treatment you will have used, whether conventional (Milbemax, Advocate) or herbal will need 14 days to work its magic.
