Although there are several diagnostic options in the detection of Giardia spp in dogs, little is known about the effectiveness of the available tests. From this, a systematic review was elaborated based on the hypothesis of existence of a diagnostic method with higher sensitivity and specificity among all those described in the literature. The databases consulted were PubMed and Capes, using the terms Giardiasis AND Diagnosis AND Dogs, and the inclusion criteria were articles published between 2007 and 2017, written in English language and evaluating results of diagnostic methods only in dogs. Five articles attended to these criteria. In the interpretation of these studies, it was concluded that there is no method that is more effective in the diagnosis of Giardia spp in dogs when used individually, but the combination of techniques such as zinc sulfate flotation and ELISA significantly increases the sensitivity of the results, adding reliability to the diagnosis.
