STOOL TESTING AND DEWORMING

All puppies and kittens have parasites and should be dewormed according to the type of worm/parasite infestation at least two to three times.  There are many types of parasites, including worms and protozoa that cannot be seen or detected by pet owners.  It is necessary to perform at least two to three stool tests.  As a responsible pet owner you should allow a veterinarian to run this test and then treat your pet with the proper medication. 

• Fecal floation tests done in-house are not accurate.  Fecal centrifugation test done at a commercial laboratory are highly accurate.

• You cannot detect all parasites by examining the feces.  Fecal centrifugation testing is required to look for both worm and one-cell protozoal parasites.

• Giardia is hard to find and the most accurate method to detect Giardia is an antibody test done on the feces.

• The cost of fecal testing and medicine is inexpensive.  The cost of not doing so can be extremely costly for you and unhealthy for your pet in the long run.

MICROCHIPS

The #1 killer of pets is getting lost.  Pets get lost or escape as result of natural disasters or a simple act of oversight in regards to securing backyard gates, house or garage doors.  Most lost pets are unfamiliar with the dangers of the outside environment and are injured or killed by vehicles, other animals and people.  If a lost pet is able to survive long enough it will likely get trapped and moved to an animal control facility.  Unfortunately, many of these pets are destroyed because they lack identification.  Microchipping is no longer a luxury that few can afford but is a necessity that all pet owners should take advantage of.  Microchipping is not expensive and is the responsible thing to do.  Many cities and counties, such as the city and county of Riverside, have passed ordinances which require that all pets be microchipped.

• Don’t have your pet microchipped with a cheap microchip that requires a special reader.  A microchip that can’t be read is useless and a waste of your money.

• Don’t have your pet microchipped with a cheap microchip that moves around the body.  A microchip that can’t be found is useless and a waste of your money.

• We recommend and use only high quality AKC microchips that are universally read, are global microchips and don’t move around the body.
