Pet Boarding and Daycare Podcast with Dominic Hodgson

Ep. 88 – The Pet Care Parasite Problem: Uncovering the Hidden Health Risk in Your Dog Daycare (and How to Fix It Fast!)


Listen Later

Still assuming your clients are getting their dogs’ faecal tests done at the vet?

Worried about parasites spreading in your playgroups – but don’t know where to start with prevention?

And how could introducing a simple new service create a fresh revenue stream and set your facility apart from the competition?

In this episode, Dom Hodgson is joined by John Beres and Greg Page from Canine Lab Testing, the game-changing service transforming how boarding and daycare facilities manage parasite prevention. John and Greg explain why most pet parents aren’t getting faecal tests done (spoiler: compliance rates are around 20%), how parasites spread silently without showing clinical signs, and how their easy, vet-backed solution gives you total control over testing – while generating reliable new income.

You’ll also discover how requiring faecal testing can become a powerful differentiator in your marketing, signalling a higher level of care and helping you attract more discerning clients. And in the final segment, Dom shares a sneak peek of his Hershey Expo presentation, “The Price Is Right” – including why premium pricing is the fastest way to fix staffing issues, scale growth, and transform your business model.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • The Dirty Truth – Why most pet parents skip faecal testing and how that’s putting dogs (and your business) at risk.
  • Health + Revenue – How parasite testing protects dogs, reassures clients, and creates a simple new revenue stream.
  • Competitive Edge – Why requiring faecal tests can position your facility as a premium, higher-standard provider.
  • Data That Matters – What 18 months of testing reveals about parasite prevalence—and why most cases show no symptoms.
  • Premium Pricing Power – Why charging more is the fastest way to solve staffing, retention, and growth challenges.
  • Huge thanks to this week’s special guest John and Greg from Canine Lab Testing. To find out more about how Canine Labs Testing can keep your facility healthy go to CanineLabsTesting.
