👁️ Your pet’s eyes can reveal a lot!
Subtle signs may signal an eye issue, such as squinting, pawing at eyes, or changes in color or vision.

Regular check-ups and eye exams help catch problems early, like dry eye, cataracts or glaucoma. With early care, your pet can stay happy and healthy.

Our pets can’t always tell us when something is wrong and keeping up with their regular screenings can tell you more than you’d think!

These screenings help catch problems early, prevent serious illness, and give you peace of mind.
-F***l Test (1-4 times per year)
-Parasite & Tick Screening (1-2 times per year)
-Wellness Bloodwork (1-2 times per year)
