How to collect your cat’s stool for testing

Samples need to be fresh within 12 hours. A helpful tip is to clean the litterbox about 12 hours prior to collection, so you know the sample is fresh. You can put it in a plastic or Ziploc bag, or stop by the clinic prior to your appointment for an airtight collection container. It is okay if there is litter on the sample, and if you have multiple cats, it does not matter which kitty made the sample.
