What Is a Fecal Examination for Pets?

A fecal examination (stool test) is a diagnostic test that checks your dog’s or cat’s poop (yes, their feces) under a microscope to look for:

• Worms and parasites (like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms) 
• Coccidia and Giardia (protozoa causing diarrhea and dehydration) 
• Bacteria and digestive health issues 

This test helps us detect and treat infections early—even before your pet shows serious symptoms.

Why Is a Fecal Exam Important?

Just because your pet looks okay doesn’t mean they’re parasite-free. Many parasites are hidden inside and can be deadly if left untreated. Here’s why you should consider a stool test:

• Puppies, kittens, and rescued animals are especially at risk 
• Prevents spread of parasites to humans (especially kids!) 
• Helps control chronic diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, and loss of appetite 
• Essential before pet travel or grooming appointments 

How We Do Fecal Exams at Superior Animal Clinic

At Superior Animal Clinic in Makindye, we make the process stress-free:

1. Sample Collection – You can bring a fresh stool sample from home or we collect it here. 
2. Microscopic Testing – Our in-house lab tests the feces using flotation and smear techniques to detect parasites, eggs, or abnormal bacteria. 
3. Same-Day Results – In most cases, we provide quick results so your pet can start treatment immediately. 
4. Tailored Treatment Plan – If any parasite or infection is found, we prescribe a safe, effective dewormer or medication based on your pet’s size and condition. 

When Should You Bring Your Pet for a Fecal Exam?

A fecal test is recommended when:

• Your pet has diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or unexplained weight loss 
• You recently adopted a rescued kitten or puppy 
• Your pet spends time outdoors or interacts with other animals 
• Before vaccinations, boarding, or international pet travel 
• Every 3 to 6 months for routine wellness checks
