Participation will involve our field team visiting you and your pet at your home to collect swabs and a blood sample from your pet(s). Sampling will take less than 15 minutes and will be completed at your residence. You will never be asked to surrender your pet. The supplies used in this research project will not detract from human testing capabilities. Please read our frequently asked questions (FAQs) for more information about the study and our processes.
