Does anyone have recent experience with this ? I think petco does it. Thanks

I've never heard of that in my area but if it was accurate I'd be interested

Would that not have the fecal sit too long?

Probably not. It would more than likely be collected fresh and mailed overnight and processed the next day. No different than what we do for some human samples.

Oh okay Kool! Everyone always saying the fresher the better! I am interested to see what happens with this.

I would love to have this option as Peepers vet is kinda a drive, as I'm sure many peoples vets are!!

they are called Test@Home and are for worms only as as far as i know. They are also a bit pricey at $40. My vet will float poop for like $10 if they have seen the animal before, else its 1 vet visit plus float fee.
