Parasite Detect PCR Panel for Dogs & Cats - At-Home Lab Test | Kedi Labs
Kedi Labs
The Most Accurate Parasite Test You Can Do from Home
Standard fecal floats miss a significant number of parasite infections. The Kedi Labs Parasite Detect PCR Panel uses cutting-edge molecular technology to detect parasites that traditional microscopy simply cannot find — including Cryptosporidium, Toxoplasma, and Tritrichomonas — while also identifying drug resistance markers and zoonotic risk.
From symptoms to answers
1. Choose the test: This is Kedi's deeper parasite option for pets with GI symptoms, higher parasite exposure, or when broader molecular detection is appropriate.
2. Collect at home: Use the included supplies to collect a small stool sample.
3. Send it to Kedi: Ship the sample using the included prepaid FedEx Priority Overnight label.
4. Veterinary lab testing: PCR looks for parasite DNA, including organisms that may be missed by traditional microscopy.
5. Get clear results: Results are typically available within 24–48 hours after laboratory processing.
6. Know what comes next: Share the laboratory report with your veterinarian to help guide appropriate next steps.
Not sure how much testing you need? For routine screening, Kedi also offers lower-cost microscopy and microscopy + Giardia options. This PCR panel is designed for broader parasite detection.
What's Included
| Test Feature | Category | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Comprehensive PCR Parasite Detection | Molecular Test | Detects up to 3x more parasites than traditional O&P testing, including worms and protozoa. |
| Cryptosporidium Detection | Parasite | Waterborne parasite that cannot be detected by standard microscopy. |
| Toxoplasma gondii (Cats) | Parasite | Important for both feline and human health; cats are the definitive host. |
| Tritrichomonas (Cats) | Parasite | Common cause of chronic large-bowel diarrhea in cats; invisible to microscopy. |
| Drug Resistance Markers | Treatment Guidance | Automatically reports if parasites carry genes for dewormer resistance. |
| Giardia Zoonotic Assessment | Public Health | If Giardia is detected, determines whether the strain is potentially infectious to humans. |
Sample Requirements
Fecal: Collect a grape-sized fecal sample using the supplies in your kit.
Pro Tip: PCR testing works on DNA, so the sample doesn't need to contain visible eggs or organisms — making it far more reliable than microscopy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is PCR different from a standard fecal test?
Standard tests look for eggs under a microscope. PCR detects parasite DNA, catching infections that aren't shedding eggs, pre-patent infections, and parasites invisible to microscopy.
Can this test tell me if my family is at risk?
Yes. If Giardia is detected, the test automatically determines whether your pet's strain is potentially zoonotic (infectious to humans).
Can I collect the sample at home?
Yes. The kit includes everything needed for easy at-home fecal collection with free FedEx Priority Overnight shipping.
Trusted Results You Can Count On
All samples are processed by Antech Diagnostics, the global leader in veterinary diagnostics. Results are typically available within 24-48 hours.
Ideal For: Pets with diarrhea, loose stools, or GI symptoms. Also recommended for routine screening in multi-pet homes, breeding programs, and pets with outdoor access.
