Fecal Testing for Pets

At Pasadena Veterinary Hospital, we offer routine fecal testing for dogs and cats to screen for internal parasites and other gastrointestinal issues. Fecal exams are a simple but essential part of preventive care—especially since many parasites show no outward signs until your pet is already sick.

Why Fecal Testing Matters

Internal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, giardia, and coccidia are common in pets—and some can even be passed to humans.
  • Detect parasites early
  • Prevent transmission to other pets (or people)
  • Protect your pet’s digestive and overall health
  • Monitor effectiveness of deworming treatments
  • Catch signs of abnormal digestion or infection

What We Test For:

  • Roundworms
  • Hookworms
  • Whipworms
  • Tapeworms
  • Giardia
  • Coccidia
  • Other gastrointestinal parasites

How Often Should Pets Be Tested?

  • Puppies & kittens: Every 2–3 weeks during early visits
  • Adult pets: At least once a year during wellness exams
  • Pets with GI symptoms: Immediately if vomiting, diarrhea, or weight loss is present
