Parvovirus Testing

Parvovirus testing is a critical diagnostic tool, especially for young or unvaccinated dogs showing signs of severe gastrointestinal illness. Parvovirus is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease that we routinely vaccinate against, but unvaccinated pets remain at high risk. There are several methods available for parvovirus testing, and the most suitable approach will depend on your pet’s symptoms and clinical history. If your dog is experiencing vomiting, diarrhoea, or lethargy, particularly if they haven’t been fully vaccinated, we recommend immediate testing to confirm a diagnosis and begin treatment as early as possible. Our veterinarian will guide you through the process and determine the best course of action for your pet’s health.

Happy families.
