1 test
The test works pretty much like a corona home test, only you stick the cotton swab into your dog's or cat's poo. There is a clear manual with the Giardia home test that is easy to follow. Within 10 minutes you will know if there is Giardia in the poo.
Rapid test for the detection of Giardia in dog and cat faeces. Fassisi Giardia rapid test is a rapid immunochromatographic test that detects surface antigens of Giardia cysts and trophozoites.
If an infection with Giardia is present, immediate treatment is important and you should also take immediate hygiene measures in your own household to combat the particularly persistent pathogens. With the Fassisi GiarDia, you get results very quickly, so no time is lost in the follow-up.
The rapid test works with a coupling technique based on blue latex particles. The latex particles give the test line a particularly intense colour result when the result is positive (high sensitivity), so that the smallest concentrations of Giardia cysts can be reliably detected.
Giardia is an insidious disease and cannot always be detected in your animal's poo. The excretion of Giardia trophozoites and cysts is irregular and can also stop temporarily. Therefore, multiple examinations over several days are recommended.
To save costs, you can collect multiple samples of poo. For 3 days, put a small amount of poo into the brown plastic jar provided. In the meantime, keep the brown jar in the fridge.
You can also mix poo from several animals to see if at least one is infected with Giardia. In case of Giardia infection, you will still have to treat all animals at the same time.
At the time of testing, mix the poo well, and let it come to room temperature. You then use this mixture for the test, giving you an even higher test reliability.
Giardia is one of the most common intestinal parasites in cats and dogs and is highly contagious to humans and animals. Giardia is the name of a single-celled parasite that can live in the small intestine of your dog or cat, or other (wild) animals. An animal becomes infected by eating the parasite, for example by drinking outdoor water or licking paws after being outside.
Once swallowed, the parasite multiplies in the intestines. By no means all animals get sick from this. Indeed, animals that appear healthy can still carry the disease and thus infect other animals. Some animals suffer from persistent and recurrent diarrhoea due to the intestinal parasite. Because the parasite can live for a long time in the environment of an infected animal, it is common for an animal to become re-infected. It is therefore advisable to wash your concurrent treatment and also disinfect the environment. (basket, cushion, blanket etc.)
In case of a positive test, always go to a vet.

Fassisi offers simple on-site testing application, providing test results within minutes with reliable test quality.
The aim of all products is simple, straightforward and rapid application, allowing immediate targeted therapeutic measures to be taken.
No test is flawless. The Fassisi self-test has a sensitivity/sensitivity of 91.89%. This means that if you perform the test on an animal that has giardia, it will be correctly diagnosed in 91.89 per cent of cases. In other words, in 8.11 per cent of cases, the test is false negative. Your dog or cat has Giardia, but it is not detected by the test.
Specificity means that if the test is positive, in 97.87% of cases Giardia is actually present. There is a 2.13% chance that the test says your animal has Giardia, but that your animal does not actually have it.
By doing several tests at different times, or repeating the test at a vet, you increase the chance of a correct diagnosis.
