💉 Essential Wellness Panels!💉
You may remember hearing your Technician or Veterinarian offer routine lab screening at your pet's Annual Visit. Why do we offer this for healthy pets? Running blood work when your pet is presenting normally helps us to:
- establish what their healthy baseline values are, so if there changes later on, we have values to compare them with
-detect new signs of exposure to tick borne illness or heartworm disease
-catch abnormalities before your pet becomes symptomatic for an illness
-confirm that your pet is healthy for an upcoming anesthetic procedure
Routine screening is valuable, and important! We now offer our Essential BUNDLES , so that you can do routine screening more AFFORDABLY.
Our canine and feline Essential Panels include the following:
🩸 Chemistry Profile: an assessment of liver, kidney, pancreatic and glucose values, and measure of hydration
🩸 CBC: a complete blood count, helps to identify signs of infection, anemia, and inflammation
🩸 Canine 4DX Screening (an annual recommendation!) : Detects exposure to tick borne diseases including Lyme, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia , and Heartworm disease (mosquito borne)
For kitties the equivalent test would be for Feline leukemia, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, and Heartworm disease
💩 F***l testing: screens for common intestinal parasites, which can be transmissible to people!
We also offer a comprehensive Wellness panel for our senior pets, which include a urinalysis and thyroid screening, in addition to the panels above.
Please reach out to us if you would like to schedule a blood work visit, or if you have questions about what tests we offer!
