Fecal Dx antigen testing
Screening adult dogs
Select Fecal Dx antigen testing during every fecal screening
Fecal screening for "healthy" dogs
Detect up to 5x more parasitic infections in dogs that appear healthy with the Fecal Dx Antigen Panel.1
IIn seemingly healthy adult dogs, fecal flotation by centrifugation misses many of the most common parasites: hookworm, roundworm, whipworm, and coming soon – flea tapeworm.1
Case study: Scout
During Scout's annual examination, an intestinal parasite infection was caught before symptoms were present.

Limit Giardia testing to sick cases, per CAPC recommendations
Follow Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) recommendations
The CAPC recommends testing symptomatic (intermittently or consistently diarrheic) dogs and cats with a combination of direct smear, fecal flotation by centrifugation, and a sensitive, specific fecal ELISA optimized for use in companion animals.3
Find and treat more Giardia cases with IDEXX Giardia tests
In simple diarrhea cases of short duration, a Giardia antigen by ELISA or the SNAP Giardia Test is recommended in addition to Fecal Dx antigen testing and fecal flotation by centrifugation.
Fecal screening for sick dogs
Improve the diagnosis and treatment of sick dogs by adding Fecal Dx antigen testing to other diarrhea tests.
What to do with your test results
Rule out infectious diseases by differentiating between simple and complicated diarrhea.
Discover more intestinal parasite infections
Detect more infections in sick cases by adding Fecal Dx antigen testing to fecal ova and parasites (O&P).1
Case study: Caleb
Caleb's real parasitic infection was detected without the presence of eggs.
