Sugar-Med is a ready-to-use fecal flotation solution from VetOne, SKU 510147, supplied in a 1 gallon (128 oz) jug. Specific gravity 1.27, designed for all fecal flotation techniques.
If you deworm on a schedule and never look at a slide, you are guessing. A kennel that runs its own fecal floats knows which dogs are actually shedding, which wormer is still working on its farm, and whether the problem this week is roundworm, hookworm, whipworm or coccidia - four things that call for four different answers.
The specific gravity is the number that matters. At 1.27 this solution is dense enough to float all the common parasite ova rather than just the light ones, which is the difference between a clean slide and a clean slide you can trust. And it arrives mixed. Anyone who has made up sugar solution on a hot plate at 6am will understand why that is worth paying for.
This pairs with the dewormer side of the catalogue rather than sitting apart from it. Float first, worm second, float again to check it worked.
