Canine Parvovirus / Canine Coronavirus Antigen Combo Test (Dog)

Canine Parvovirus / Canine Coronavirus Antigen Combo Test - double screening for intestinal infections in dogs

The Canine Parvovirus / Canine Coronavirus Antigen Combo Test from Pet Pharma is a convenient rapid test designed to screen your dog for two important canine viruses at the same time: Canine Parvovirus (CPV) and Canine Coronavirus (CCV). Both infections can affect the gastrointestinal tract and may cause similar symptoms. By testing for both antigens in one test, you can quickly gain more insight into the possible cause of your dog's intestinal complaints.

What are Canine Parvovirus and Canine Coronavirus?

Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious viral infection that mainly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy and loss of appetite and can be particularly serious in puppies and unvaccinated dogs.

Canine Coronavirus (CCV) is another contagious intestinal virus in dogs. Infection may lead to diarrhoea, vomiting, reduced appetite and lethargy, especially in young dogs or animals with a weakened immune system.

How does the test work?

The combo test screens for Canine Parvovirus and Canine Coronavirus antigens in a stool sample from your dog. The sample is prepared according to the supplied instructions and applied to the test cassette, allowing the two infections to be screened at the same time without laboratory equipment.

Benefits of the Canine Parvovirus / Canine Coronavirus Antigen Combo Test:

• Screens for two important canine viruses in one test
• Helps distinguish between common causes of gastrointestinal complaints
• Easy to perform at home or on location
• No laboratory equipment required
• Suitable for dog owners, breeders, shelters and veterinary practices

When to use the test?

The test may be useful when your dog develops symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy or reduced appetite. Testing can also be considered following contact with infected or potentially infected dogs, or when several dogs in the same environment develop gastrointestinal symptoms.

A positive result or severe or persistent symptoms should be discussed with a veterinarian.

Double screening with one convenient test

The Canine Parvovirus / Canine Coronavirus Antigen Combo Test from Pet Pharma provides a practical way to screen for two common canine intestinal viruses simultaneously. It helps you gain useful information quickly so you can determine whether veterinary follow-up may be needed.
