Fecal examination: Performed yearly to detect intestinal parasites that can affect both you and your pet.

Heartworm Prevention and Testing: Yearly testing and use of preventative medications for dogs.

Blood work and urinalysis: We recommend that this lab work be performed every year as your pet ages. Routine testing helps to detect problems not evident on physical exam.

• The blood work includes a complete blood count, which looks for anemia, infection, inflammation, and evidence of cancer.

• The blood chemistry test which will be performed may diagnose problems like diabetes, kidney failure, liver disease, and cancer.

• A thyroid test is also performed to detect hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) in dogs and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) in cats.

• The urinalysis helps evaluate kidney function, evidence of diabetes, infection and urinary stones/crystals.
