Description
This lungworm test for dogs is a simple blood test. It will tell you whether or not your best friend is infected with the UK canine lungworm, Angiostrongylus vasorum.
The Angio Detect dog lungworm blood test is the most accurate method of lungworm detection in dogs. It is far more sensitive than regular faecal testing, with a sensitivity of 98.1% (compared with only 61% sensitivity of a faecal assessment).
Dogs can pick up lungworm from snails and slugs and from grazing on contaminated grass. It is important to test your dog for lungworm, if left untreated it can cause long term health problems or even death. That said, unnecessary chemical treatments are also bad for your dog, which is another reason to purchase this test kit.
Dragon Lab’s testing service provides same day results, which is one of the fastest turn around times of lungworm testing labs in UK. Our experts not only provide you with the results, but also provide you with invaluable knowledge and advice from our extensive experience.
Generic vets are not usually specifically trained in interpreting antigen test results; their experience is usually limited and recommendations are swayed by affiliations to pharmaceutical companies. This can lead to incorrect or biased treatment guidance which is not necessarily the best course of action for your dog.
