Blastocystis hominis
Blastocystis hominis is a microscopic intestinal parasite that can be detected in stool. In dogs, exposure can occur through contaminated water, food, soil, faeces, or environments where faecal contamination is present. Low levels may occur without obvious digestive signs. Higher levels may suggest that Blastocystis is present in greater amounts in the intestinal tract, which may be more relevant when the gut environment is irritated or the gut microbiome pattern is less balanced. Higher levels may be seen together with altered stool quality, soft stools, diarrhoea, gas, mucus in stool, reduced appetite, or digestive discomfort. A positive finding may be useful to review with a veterinarian, especially if ongoing digestive signs are present or if there are concerns about hygiene or environmental exposure.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the Europe. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
