Testing your horse for tapeworm is a simple and essential process, to ensure your horse's health without using unnecessary medication. We particularly recommend tapeworm testing twice a year (usually Spring and Autumn), depending upon your horse's clinical risk.
What do I need to do to test my horse for tapeworm?
All you need to do is to collect a sample of your horse's saliva, using the swab included in the kit, follow the instructions to label, preserve and send the sample to the lab, and post it using the pre-paid envelope included.
How do I know what to do with the tapeworm test results?
The results come back to us, so that our qualified Registered Animal Medicines Advisor can give you the results and advise as to whether or not your horse needs worming. She can take your horse's clinical history and prescribe the appropriate wormer for your horse, if required.
Buying the tapeworm test kit from Equichoice means that you will also have automatic reminders next time your horse is due to be tested, so you don't have to worry about remembering to do it at the right time!
