Why Routine Testing is Important
Pets, just like humans, can develop health issues that may not be immediately apparent. Routine testing helps us detect potential problems early, often before symptoms even appear. This early detection allows us to intervene promptly and provide appropriate treatment, improving the outcome for your pet.
Additionally, routine testing is crucial for senior pets, as they are more susceptible to age-related conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, and arthritis. By regularly monitoring their health through routine tests, we can identify these conditions in their early stages when they are more manageable.
4DX Blood Test
The 4DX blood test is a comprehensive test for dogs that screens for several common diseases: Heartworm, Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichia. These diseases are all transmitted by parasites such as mosquitoes and ticks. The test provides quick results, usually within 10 minutes, allowing us to promptly initiate treatment if any of these diseases are detected.
Fecal Testing
Fecal testing is a crucial aspect of routine pet care, as it helps detect parasites, fungi, and bacteria that may not be visible to the naked eye. Certain parasites, such as Giardia, can pose a risk to both your pet and your family’s health. Many facilities, including kennels, doggy daycares, and training facilities, may require fecal testing before admission.
Snap FIV/FeLV Combo Test
This test is specifically for cats and checks for two common feline viruses: Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). Both viruses can weaken your cat’s immune system and lead to serious health problems if left untreated. The Snap test provides results within minutes, allowing us to take appropriate action if your cat tests positive.
Senior Screening
As pets age, their health needs change, and they become more susceptible to certain conditions. Our senior screening package includes comprehensive tests like Chem/CBC/T4, offering a complete assessment of your pet’s kidneys, liver, thyroid, and more. This comprehensive evaluation helps us detect age-related diseases early and manage them effectively.
