The Canine & Feline H. pylori Antigen Rapid Test Kit is a convenient, rapid, and reliable self-test for the detection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antigen in stool samples from dogs and cats. Using immunochromatographic colloidal gold technology, this test delivers accurate qualitative results within minutes, enabling early detection of potential gastric infections in pets.

H. pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium that can colonize the stomach lining and is known to cause gastritis, ulcers, and other gastrointestinal problems in humans. Although its role in companion animals is still actively investigated, there is growing evidence that H. pylori and related Helicobacter species can also infect dogs and cats, potentially contributing to chronic vomiting, nausea, changes in appetite, abdominal discomfort, and weight loss.

This test is ideal for:

- Dogs and cats with unexplained digestive symptoms,
- Examination of animals with a history of chronic gastrointestinal problems,
- households where both pets and humans are affected by H. pylori for mutual assessment,
- Veterinary clinics looking for a fast and non-invasive tool for initial examination
