💩 happens.....

It’s not the most glamorous part of pet care—but checking your pet’s p**p once a year is essential! A f***l test helps us detect intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and giardia—some of which can infect humans too (these are called zoonotic diseases). 😷

Even if your pet looks healthy, parasites can be hiding silently and spreading through your yard or home. Annual testing keeps both your pet—and your family—safe. 🏡❤️
