GetTested’s Toxoplasma Test for Dogs & Cats is a quick and user-friendly self-test that detects Toxoplasma gondii antigens in a small fecal sample. Results are ready in 10 minutes, making it easier for both pet owners and veterinary professionals to identify infections early—before symptoms become more severe or the parasite spreads to other animals.
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasitic protozoan capable of infecting most warm-blooded animals, including humans. Cats are the primary host, while dogs can become infected through contaminated soil, raw meat, or contact with infected cat feces. Many pets show no visible signs, but toxoplasmosis can lead to serious health complications—especially in immunocompromised animals and in pregnant women exposed to the parasite.
The test uses colloidal gold immunochromatographic technology to detect T. gondii antigens with high sensitivity and specificity. By analyzing fecal samples directly, it enables early identification of infection—helping to prevent complications and reduce the risk of zoonotic transmission to humans.
