Has anybody tried doing this, is it as easy as it sounds? Thinking of ways to save money ie vets bills

I have seen this, thought I'd leave it to the experts I'm not very patient and know I wouldn't be confident with my own result,, have you actually done it? could you see anything?

I'd do it if I could be bothered

It didn't cost me anything to have a sample checked at the vets so I don't mind given it to them to do

You can always send the poo away to the Royal Dick Hospital - they will do it for free as well. You have to fill in a questionnaire and put this with it. It also has to be packaged correctly as they instruct.
I posted on this about a month ago, and did it a week or so ago. Sent the poo on Tuesday, got the results Thursday. Very impressive and Lily worm/protozoa free!!
