Proflax Lungworm Test Kit for Dogs

Description

Lungworm is becoming much more common, and is now a risk to dogs across much of the UK. Lungworm can be fatal and is very hard to treat once symptoms appear. A lungworm screen looks for larvae though you should always be aware of symptoms; coughing, fast, heavy and noisy breathing, weight loss, unexplained bruising and bleeding, seizures.

Lungworm larvae are invisible to the naked eye. If your dog likes to eat grass, slugs or snails, lick from water left outside, or toys they are at risk of catching lungworm. Dogs who eat a bird or animal who has eaten a snail or slug can also become infected.

This test is not intended as a replacement for worming your pet in the first place. It is merely a way of monitoring the worm egg burden of your dog and treating accordingly.

Suitable for use from 16 weeks.
