Fecal Examination for Dogs
We recommend a fecal flotation be performed every year on all pets in your household.  Parasites from dogs and cats can be transmitted to people.  Every annual physical should include examination of a stool sample that is less than 12 hours old, never frozen and preferably not left in a hot location.  This will help keep everyone healthy.
 
Puppies coming to their 8, 12, and 16 week examinations should have a fecal flotation done at each appointment,
