Clinical Use Cases

When Practices Use Fecal, Parasite, or Urine Testing

Use fecal, parasite, and veterinary urinalysis testing when a patient needs routine screening, diagnostic workup, urinary monitoring, or sample guidance before submission.

  • 1

    A dog fecal exam or cat fecal exam is due for routine screening.

  • 2

    A canine fecal test is needed after diarrhea or exposure risk.

  • 3

    A canine stool sample or cat stool sample needs lab review.

  • 4

    A dog urine test or cat urinalysis is needed for urinary signs.

  • 5

    Urine sediment review is needed for cells, crystals, casts, or bacteria.

Sample Handling

Fecal and Urine Sample Handling Basics

Simple collection and storage steps protect parasite recovery and urine sediment quality.

Keep fecal samples fresh

Submit fresh feces collected within a few hours when possible, and refrigerate if shipping is delayed. Avoid samples contaminated with litter, soil, or urine.

Send enough volume

A teaspoon-sized sample supports reliable flotation and antigen testing. Very small samples can produce false negatives on parasite screening.

Note the urine method

Record whether urine was free-catch, cystocentesis, or catheterized. The collection method affects how culture and sediment results should be interpreted.

Mind urine timing

Examine or refrigerate urine promptly. Standing at room temperature shifts pH, dissolves or forms crystals, and degrades cells before sediment review.
