Product overview
The SaberVet Canine Giardia Antigen Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of Canine Giardia antigen in fresh feces or rectal swab samples. The test is designed for rapid, point-of-care determination of Giardia infection in dogs and is recommended for animals presenting with diarrhea, vomiting or watery stools. The product is manufactured in China at a CE, ISO 13485 & GMP certified factory.

Symptoms

• Diarrhea (loose or watery stools)
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Weight loss
• Abdominal discomfort or bloating

Transmission
Giardia is transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Infectious cysts are shed in feces and can contaminate water, food, or the environment and be ingested by susceptible animals.

Detection and Diagnosis
The test is intended to be used as a rapid, patient-side antigen test to detect Giardia infection in symptomatic dogs. Clinical practice combines fecal flotation/microscopy with a sensitive antigen test to maximize detection due to intermittent shedding. The SaberVet test provides results in less than 10 minutes and supports timely clinical decisions.

Advantages

• Rapid results: under 10 minutes
• High reported clinical performance (99% sensitivity, 98.8% specificity)
• Simple point-of-care use without complex equipment
• Cost-effective alternative to laboratory-only diagnostics
• Suitable for use by veterinarians and trained personnel

Treatment and Prevention
Treatment commonly uses anti-parasitic agents such as metronidazole or fenbendazole according to veterinary guidance. Prevention includes maintaining hygiene, prompt removal of feces, and preventing access to untreated or contaminated water. Early detection and treatment reduce prolonged digestive issues and associated risks.
