Perfect Pet Heartworm, Ehrlichia, Lyme Test at Home

Directions for Blood Sample CollectionOnce opened, package may not be returned due to contamination.If your dog/cat is difficult to hold, you can call your veterinarian and ask for a tranquilizer. You will need a guillotine type nail trimmer.Collect Sample: Start with the rear feet--if dogs do not have to see, they relax. Trim a nail short enough to get two to three drops of blood (the more the better) in the vial. Just do a normal nail trim, place the vial to the nail and collect the sample. Use Quick-Stop, a styptic pencil, or flour to stop the blood flow. The nail normally stops bleeding in a short time without any treatment. If you can't trim a nail you may try a stab puncture (as a diabetic would do) on a hairless area (abdomen, pad, nose, etc.). However, the nail trim is quick, easy, and less of a problem. On the vial's label write your name, the pet's name, and the test serial number located next to bar code on back.Mailing: Place the vial containing the blood into both plastic bags. Mark your name, phone/cell, address, and your pet's name on the outer plastic bag and place the plastic bag into the self-addressed envelope. Place ample stamps on the mailer or use one provided by your mail/air express service. Overnight mail or express mail is best.You may send multiple white envelopes inside a larger US Post Office Priority Mail, FedEx envelope, etc. for faster results.No refunds once opened. Sterile product.
