3-in-1 Dog Diarrhea Test (CPV+CCV+Giardia Ag)

About this test

What the Test Screens For

This test screens for antigens linked to:

• Canine Parvovirus, CPV

• Canine Coronavirus, CCV

• Giardia

Together, these markers provide a quick first screen for three common infectious causes of diarrhoea and gastrointestinal symptoms in dogs.

Common Symptoms to Watch For

Dogs affected by these infections may experience:

• Diarrhoea or loose stools

• Vomiting

• Loss of appetite

• Low energy or lethargy

• Dehydration

• Abdominal discomfort

Testing may be particularly useful when symptoms are persistent, severe, sudden or unexplained.

Who May Benefit from This Test?

This test may be suitable for dogs that:

• Have diarrhoea, loose stools or vomiting

• Show low energy, appetite loss or digestive discomfort

• Have had contact with other dogs or shared environments

• Are puppies, senior dogs or have weaker immune defence

• May have been exposed to contaminated faeces, water, food or surfaces

• Need a rapid first screen for common infectious causes of diarrhoea

Simple Home Testing

Collect a small sample of fresh faeces or vomit, mix it with the included buffer and apply it to the test cassette.

Results are available in approximately 5 to 10 minutes and can be read directly from the test cassette.

Biomarkers included

• Giardia: Giardia is a microscopic parasite that can infect the small intestine of dogs and cause giardiasis. It can disturb digestion and nutrient absorption and is commonly linked to diarrhoea, soft or greasy stool, mucus in the stool, gas, stomach discomfort, weight loss, reduced appetite and tiredness. Some dogs may carry Giardia without clear symptoms but can still shed the parasite in their stool. Det
• Canine Parvovirus (CPV): Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious virus that can cause severe gastrointestinal disease in dogs, especially puppies and unvaccinated dogs. Detection of CPV can indicate an active infection and may be associated with vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, fever, lethargy and dehydration. Higher or positive findings can support the need for prompt veterinary care and measures to reduce t
• Canine Coronavirus (CCV): Canine Coronavirus (CCV) is a virus that mainly affects the gastrointestinal tract in dogs. It is most often linked to diarrhoea, mild digestive upset, reduced appetite and lethargy, especially in puppies or dogs with a weakened gut balance. Detection of CCV can indicate exposure or infection and may help explain gastrointestinal symptoms while supporting hygiene measures to reduce spread between

Frequently asked questions

Why test for CPV, CCV and Giardia together?

These infections can cause similar digestive symptoms, including diarrhoea, vomiting and low energy. Testing for all three at once helps give a quicker first indication of which pathogen may be involved.

Is this test especially relevant for puppies?

Yes. Puppies can be more vulnerable to digestive infections, especially CPV. Testing may be useful when diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or appetite loss appears suddenly.

Can these infections spread between dogs?

Yes. CPV, CCV and Giardia can spread through contaminated faeces, shared environments, surfaces or contact with infected animals.
