If, like me, you don't want to worm your dogs unless they have worms, Wormcount.com is the answer! I have found them excellent, offering a friendly, fast, efficient service at a fraction of the price that I had been paying for my vet to send samples to one of the big companies. And unlike the big firms, who will not deal with owners directly, Wormcount.com is a small, specialist company, happy to discuss concerns and give helpful advice.
