Directions for Blood Sample Collection
Once 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.
- You must answer the questions on the Lab Form/Request for Heartworm Pills to purchase heartworm pills at internet prices (usually 50% less than your veterinarian). Complete and sign the Request for Heartworm Pills on the bottom.
