How is my dog tested for worms?

It's a pretty simple, straightforward diagnostic. We collect some stool, whether you bring it here or we collect it in-house. We do a fecal float to see if there are any eggs, and we look at that under the microscope.

We test dogs for worms by using a fecal sample and we usually ask the pet owner to bring one in ahead of time.

We usually prefer to send home medication, so yes, you can deworm your dog at home but we typically use prescribed medications for you.
