Dog worm counts

[Follysmum]

Does anyone do this for their dogs and just worm according like with horses?

I have had a Quick Look and prices seem a lot more expensive than horses

Probably because its more of a health hazard puggling about with dog poop

I certainly wouldn't want to to fiddle around with dog poo

I looked at this for my dogs but thought it was expensive and maybe a bit grosser then horses

I get Clovers poo tested for lungworm and faecel eggs every 3 months, means I don't have to flea and worm her every month. About £45 combined for both tests.

We use these for our dogs as I dislike feeding insecticide willy-nilly. Don't think we've ever actually had anything crop up on any of them either.

I've used worm counts for my dog and they have always been clear.

Keep your hands out of the poo and don't eat it and you'll be fine.

Does it cover everything? I don’t think horse egg counts cover tapeworm? But that may have changed.

Thank you. I wonder why you can with dogs and not with horses? I assume dogs do not need a blood test for tapeworm like horses do.
