PCR Diarrhea Test

Pezz Diarrhea PCR Test

With the Pezz PCR Test, you can reliably and quickly detect parasites and diarrhea-causing pathogens in your dog or cat—right from home. Thanks to state-of-the-art PatoScreen PCR technology, you’ll receive precise lab results and can take targeted action.

Why test?

A test helps identify the exact pathogens causing diarrhea. This allows your veterinarian to provide targeted treatment and significantly reduces the risk of infecting other animals or people. The test is also highly recommended after contact with sick animals of the same species to rule out a possible infection early on.

Important: If your pet has symptoms other than diarrhea, please contact your veterinarian directly, regardless of the test result.
