Early detection blood work is routinely performed during the comprehensive examination. This allows you to get base line values of certain enzymes to monitor for diseases like kidney disease or thyroid conditions. So early detection screening not only uncovers disease before it’s too late, but can also help you avoid significant medical expenses and risks to your pet’s health.
Be proactive in your pet’s wellness by being current on vaccinations and maintaining heartworm and flea preventions. Preventative medicine is like what Ben Franklin said “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Pet Wellness is being proactive in your pet’s healthcare. That means annual physical examinations, early detection blood work, monthly heartworm and fleas preventions, weight management, update vaccinations, and routine dental care.
Comprehensive physical examination that is done at least once a year is the easiest form of detection to make sure your pet is healthy. Physical examinations allow the veterinarian to see the pet and show the owners the overall health. In a physical exam, the veterinarian looks at the pet from nose to tail and discusses areas to the owners to be aware of at home to maintain. Areas that are observed during the physical examination are Dental Health, weight management, and parasite screening.
