Customer reviews – Distemper Virus Test for Dogs
4.5/5 (6)
- 4/5 — A bit stressful when the dog started getting a runny nose so I ordered this. It was fairly easy to take the sample with the swab in the nose, even if the dog wasn't entirely happy with the situation. Nice to get answers directly at home instead of waiting for a vet appointment in the middle of the week. The instructions were clear enough.
- 5/5 — Fast delivery and very easy to use during a stressful time.
- 5/5 — Fast results and simple process.
- 5/5 — very fast delivery and the test was easy to use. good with clear pictures in the description.. you get results in about 10 mins. recommended for those who want to keep extra watch on their dog.
- 4/5 — Bought to have on standby at the cottage just in case. The package arrived as expected and everything looked professional. Haven't had to use it yet but it feels safe to have.
- 4/5 — Instructions were clear enough but the swab took a bit of patience with my puppy. Glad I could get a result at home before heading to the vet.
