Our doctors are recommending annual parasite screening for all adult dogs as part of their annual wellness exams. This is to ensure your pet is parasite free as most infestations are not symptomatic and not all parasite preventatives cover the wide range of parasites that our pets can pick up. We have found that when we are testing fecal samples, we sometimes find parasites that need to be addressed. We ask that you bring a sample of your pet’s feces so we can ensure your pet is parasite free. Would you like a reminder through our app to bring a fecal sample for your appointment?

If your pet is over the age of 7 our doctors are recommending screening tests. Running these tests help us understand what’s normal for your pet as well as screen for common conditions. Subtle changes in your pet’s test results can signal the presence of disease even before any outward signs of illness can be seen. It would consist of running a blood sample from your pet that can be taken while they are here for their wellness exam.
