Simple, Affordable Parasite Screening for Dogs and Cats
Regular parasite screening is one of the most important things you can do for your pet's health — and your family's. The Kedi Labs Basic Fecal Parasite Screen uses traditional microscopy to detect common intestinal parasite eggs, providing a reliable and budget-friendly baseline test for dogs and cats of all ages.
From symptoms to answers
1. Choose the test: This is a strong starting point for routine parasite screening and common intestinal worms.
2. Collect at home: Use the included supplies to collect a small stool sample from your dog or cat.
3. Send it to Kedi: Use the included prepaid FedEx Priority Overnight shipping label.
4. Veterinary lab testing: Your pet's sample is examined for parasite eggs and organisms using professional laboratory microscopy.
5. Get clear results: Results are typically available within 1–2 business days after the lab receives the sample.
6. Know what comes next: Share the results with your veterinarian and use them to guide appropriate next steps.
Not sure this is the right test? Pets with diarrhea, loose stool, blood or mucus in stool, or a higher risk of parasites may benefit from a broader Giardia or PCR-based option.

Sample Requirements
Fecal: Collect a grape-sized fecal sample using the supplies in your kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this and the PCR parasite test? This test uses microscopy to look for parasite eggs. The PCR test detects parasite DNA and catches significantly more infections — including organisms invisible to microscopy. This basic screen is a good starting point; the PCR panel is for deeper analysis.
How often should I test my pet for parasites? Veterinary guidelines recommend parasite screening at least 1–2 times per year for adult pets, and more frequently for puppies, kittens, and pets with outdoor access.
Can I collect the sample at home? Yes. Simply collect a fecal sample and mail it with the free prepaid FedEx label.

WHEN TO TEST
If your pet exhibits any of these common symptoms:
Persistent Diarrhea: Diarrhea that lasts for more than 2-3 days and does not improve with dietary changes or basic at-home treatments warrants further evaluation.
Severe Diarrhea: Diarrhea that is severe, frequent, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or blood in the stool should prompt diagnostic testing.
Blood in Stool: The presence of blood in the diarrhea or feces (hematochezia) can indicate underlying issues that require investigation.
Dehydration: If diarrhea leads to dehydration, which is characterized by symptoms like sunken eyes, dry gums, or excessive lethargy, diagnostic testing is essential to identify the underlying cause.
Weight Loss: Unexplained weight loss in a dog with diarrhea may indicate a chronic gastrointestinal issue that requires diagnosis and treatment.
Change in Stool Quality: If the diarrhea is accompanied by changes in stool consistency (e.g., watery, mucous-like, greasy), it may indicate an underlying problem.
Fever: The presence of a fever along with diarrhea may indicate an infection or inflammatory condition that requires testing.
Recent Dietary Changes: If the diarrhea occurs shortly after a change in diet or introduction of new treats or food, it may be necessary to rule out dietary intolerance or food allergies.
Travel or Exposure: If the dog has recently traveled, been in contact with other dogs, or has been exposed to potentially contaminated environments, it's important to consider infectious causes and perform appropriate tests.
Chronic or Recurrent Diarrhea: Dogs with ongoing or recurrent diarrhea may have underlying gastrointestinal conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or parasites, that require a thorough evaluation.

GUARANTEED SATISFACTION
At Kedi Labs, we are committed to providing high-quality, reliable tests and unrivaled customer support. Our team of experts is always on hand to assist you with any questions or concerns.
THE POWER OF PCR TESTING
PCR tests are exceptional because they detect very small amounts of genetic material from pathogens or abnormal cells, so a small sample is all that is needed to complete a lab test. A testing machine measures the amount of genetic material in the sample to determine how much of the pathogen or abnormal cell is present. PCR tests are very accurate and sensitive for diagnosing diseases or finding genetic changes that can cause disease.
PCR tests are also very fast, which is why Kedi Labs offers them to our customers. Our mission is to offer affordable, fast pre-screening labs for pet owners to ensure that patients needing care urgently are seen quickly by their veterinarians. We are committed to making a positive impact in the field of veterinary care and making quality veterinary care more accessible to pet owners.

Thank you for sharing, Judit. We’re glad the testing process was fast and reliable and that it helped support your cats’ health. Clear, dependable results are exactly what we aim for. We also appreciate you taking the time to include the photo and leave a review.
Great customer service when I forgot to put the right activation code in after I sent it. They were very helpful!
Fed Ex is not reliable. I am disappointed to find that, once again, Fed Ex has proven to be slow and unreliable. After having the specimen picked up by Fed EX on August 5th for a 2-day delivery, the specimen is still in "transit" 7 days later. It has not arrived at the lab for examination.
I can only hope that Kedi pays attention to the many times this must have occurrec with Fed Ex, and that they will make arrangements to ship via UPS rather than Fed Ex.
As of August 12th, I still am waiting to learn if my little 3.5 lb Yorkie has worms!!!
I cannot recommend this service as long as they insist on using an unreliable shipper: Federal Express.

Fantastic service and product! Results were quick and the test instructions were clear and easy to follow. I sent in 2 samples for my dogs. Fedex lost one of samples. I contacted customer service and they responded quickly and sent me out another kit immediately. Highly recommend.

Used the basic kit to run fecal check for parasites on new dog we found before we are able to bring him to the vet. Uncomplicated and very quick service. Would recommend as good value and reliable.

Kedi Labs saved me a ton of money compared to what my Vet charges for a fecal test. The process was extremely easy and I had the results back in less than 24 hours from the time FedEx picked up my package. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using them again.

After a ridiculous $2800 plus vet and hospital bill for gastritis, they then wanted more tests. After reviewing the bill I was charged $38 plus each time his blood pressure was taken so I began asking charges before procedures. The prices for parasites were over $85. I found this site snd for $50 got the kit, sent it in and in a day or so had the results. Easy preasy. Will use again
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much, Rebekah, for sharing your experience and for trusting our Basic Fecal Parasite Screen kit. We’re sorry to hear about the high vet costs you faced, but glad our affordable and easy-to-use mail-in test provided a convenient alternative with quick results.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your great feedback! We're delighted to hear that you found our test easy to use and appreciated our fast shipping. We look forward to assisting you and your pets again in the future!
I can't stop talking about how great this service was! I ordered a dog poop test kit to check for parasites, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. The kit was super professional—it came with everything I needed, including gloves (which I really appreciated), and the instructions were simple and clear.
I mailed the sample around 1pm Pacific, and by 7am the next morning, I already had my results. I know I got lucky with the time zone difference since the lab is in Central Time, but still—less than 24 hours for lab results? That’s wild.
It was so convenient not having to make a vet appointment or drag my dog anywhere. I’ll definitely be using this again, and I’ve already recommended it to a few friends. Just an all-around awesome experience.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for this incredible review—we’re thrilled to hear your experience was smooth from start to finish! We love knowing the kit setup (especially the gloves!) and the clear instructions made everything easy, and we aim for lightning-fast results ✨.
It means the world to us that you’ve already recommended Kedi Labs to others. Making affordable, stress-free pet testing accessible from home is exactly what we’re here for. Give your pup some extra love from us, and we’re always here whenever you need us again! 🐾💙
I really appreciate the convenience of having the tests on hand. That way I can recheck fecals quickly and conveniently with results reported directly to me. Just wonderful.
