⚠️ Trigger Warning: An honest look at what we experience in veterinary medicine every day.
Every single day, we have conversations that stay with us long after the clinic doors close.
We sit with families as they hear that their beloved pet has kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, cancer, or another serious illness. One of the hardest things we hear is:
"If only we'd known sooner."
The truth is, many of these conditions develop quietly. Our pets are incredibly good at hiding illness, and by the time we see obvious signs, they have often been unwell for much longer than anyone realized.
At Kelowna Veterinary Hospital, we care deeply about every patient and every family who walks through our doors. We know that cost can sometimes be the reason preventative testing gets delayed, and we never want finances to stand in the way of giving pets the best chance possible.
This isn't a promotion. It's something we've chosen to do because we believe early detection shouldn't be out of reach for the families who trust us with their pets.
For a limited time, we're offering these preventative diagnostic tests at our cost in the hope that more pets can benefit from early screening and earlier intervention.
🐾 Wellness Blood Panel – $110
A comprehensive screening of organ function, blood cells, and early signs of disease.
🐾 Wellness Blood Panel + Urinalysis – $165
Provides a more complete picture of kidney health, diabetes, urinary tract health, and hydration.
🐾 Wellness Blood Panel + Urinalysis + F***l Testing– $200
Our most comprehensive preventative screen, checking internal health while also looking for intestinal parasites that can affect both pets and people.
These tests are especially valuable for senior pets, but they can also detect hidden disease in younger animals before symptoms appear.
We can't prevent every illness. But sometimes, we can find it earlier.
Earlier answers often mean more treatment options, more time, and more quality of life with the companions who mean everything to us.
If your pet has an upcoming appointment, simply let us know before your visit if you'd like to add preventative diagnostics so we can schedule a little extra time. If you're including f***l testing, please bring a fresh stool sample with you to your appointment.
Because they can't tell us when something is wrong. ❤️
