Yes, Vetco clinics can do fecal exams to check for common parasites like hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms.

    Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Not to my knowledge because the labs have contracts with veterinary hospitals and vice versa.

    And even if you could, what would you do if there were positive results? Over the counter dewormers work for SOME intestinal parasites but will NOT work for tapeworms, giardia, coccidia, fungal overgrowth...you get the idea. So in those cases, you'd need to see a vet anyway.

    Best wishes to you and Buddy!
