Whats inside a poopost worm count kit?
Poo pots for collecting worm count samples

The most important item- the poo pot! Our poopots are made of heavy duty PP, to keep our prices low and help the environment they are sterilised and reused, so may have some minor scratches or marks from the disinfectant, but they are perfectly usable! The pot needs to be filled fully to avoid air spoiling the sample and the lid clicked down fully. 

PooPot

Each pot slides into a grip seal plastic bag- this needs to be sealed fully to prevent leaks- and the horses name written on the panel provided. Its very important to write your horses name, even if you only bought a one horse kit, as we test in large batches.

The bag is included to help protect against leakages.

Each kit contains one optional disposable glove to wear when picking up your poo samples. 

Dont want a glove? Click "no" from the drop down menu when ordering your kit.

Please note only 1 glove is supplied in the standard 1-4 kit sizes. 

Bulk kits have a ratio of 1 glove per 10 samples ordered.

Prepaid Return Envelope 

The samples are returned in a padded jiffy envelope. This comes with a freepost label and can be slid into any UK postbox- no need to visit the post office. On the back is a space to fill in the date you posted and your sender address. The pots need to slide in FLAT in order to go through the post as large letter. 

If you ordered our bulk kit the return envelope will be a mailing bag rather than a jiffy envelope, with more postage to go as royal mail small parcel first class, and can be slid into any UK mailbox or taken to the post office.
