On this page, you will find schedules that indicate the best times to perform fecal testing. You will also find diagrams showing how a worm infection occurs. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
It is important to carry out fecal testing regularly (4 times a year). This helps you build a clear record and gives valuable insight into your dog's susceptibility to worms. It also provides good control over your worm management.
Following the puppy schedule from the very beginning ensures optimal worm management. In our webshop, we offer puppy packages that contain everything your puppy needs. You can use this schedule for worm testing.
All worms have their own life cycle, but the basic process is the same. The larva is ingested by the dog and migrates through the body. Inside the body, the larva develops into a worm that lays eggs. The eggs are excreted in the feces and end up in the environment. From the eggs, new larvae hatch, restarting the cycle.
