🐾 Why Do We Recommend F***l Samples?
At Pet Medical Center, we know collecting a f***l sample isn’t the most glamorous part of pet care but it’s one of the most important!
💩 What’s a f***l test?
A f***l exam checks your pet’s stool under a microscope to look for internal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, coccidia, and giardia.
🐛 Why it matters:
Even the healthiest pets can carry parasites without showing symptoms! These little hitchhikers can cause:
• Weight loss
• Diarrhea or vomiting
• Dull coat
• Fatigue or “just not acting right”
Some parasites can even be transmitted to humans, especially young children or those with weaker immune systems.
✨ The benefits:
• Keeps your pet healthy and comfortable 🐶🐱
• Protects your family and other pets 👨👩👧👦
• Catches issues before they cause illness
• Helps ensure parasite prevention plans are actually working!
📅 How often should you bring one?
We recommend a f***l sample at least once a year, and any time your pet has tummy issues or you notice unusual stool.
💡 Tip: You only need a small, fresh sample (about the size of a grape)! Just pop it in a sealed baggie or one of our collection containers and bring it with you to your next visit.
Because when it comes to your furry family, even the tiniest things can make a big difference. 💚
