WELLNESS VISITS

Yearly Diagnostic Testing

Each year or veterinarians examine your pet and administer the annual vaccinations that are necessary to protect your pets health. A physical examination is limited to the external areas of your pet, and cannot screen for all serious health problems. Therefore, our staff highly recommends yearly bloodwork and fecal tests to help detect early stages of disease and provide an extended quality of life. About 10% of pets that come in for annual exams have some form of underlying disease. Many of these pets come in every year for a physical exam and any abnormalities go undetected without a Wellness Health Screen. 

Checking bloodwork yearly on your pet will help establish a database early in your pets life and will allow us to recognize potential health risks before major disease occurs. Should your pet become ill, we will have an extensive health database to aid in your family members treatment. The cost of these wellness packages and what they include:

• Canine Seniors: $199.00 This includes a full panel of bloodwork, a urinalysis, heartworm test, and a fecal sample.
• Feline Seniors: $179.00 This includes a full panel of bloodwork, a urinalysis, and a fecal sample.

*** Please note that we do not hold your pets to age when choosing these packages.***

A full panel of bloodwork includes a complete blood count, chemistry panel, and thyroid levels. The mini blood panels include a complete blood count and a small chemistry panel.

The heartworm test that is run for each canine package includes testing for heartworm disease, Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis.

If you are not interested in any of these packages our office does offer a wellness Canine/Feline Corehealth Screen that costs $115.00. This wellness panel only includes a full panel of bloodwork.

Preventatives

Canine

Heartworm Prevention: Highly recommended to be given year-round. If given monthly you are not only protecting your pet from heartworm disease (which is spread through a simple mosquito bite) but you are also deworming your pet for common intestinal parasites. Both of our heartworm preventatives that we carry at our office do require yearly heartworm testing.

Flea/tick Prevention: Fleas remain a problem and ticks are a growing problem in most parts of the country so our veterinarians recommend year-round protection.

Feline
