Why are regular screenings for pets important?

Our pets can’t always tell us when something is wrong, keeping up with their regular screenings can tell you more than you’d think! Along with vaccines, these screenings are an important part of your pet’s annual health report card. They help catch problems early, prevent serious illness, and give you peace of mind.

Fecal Screening

Why It Matters:

Detects intestinal parasites that can cause stomach issues, weight loss, or more serious problems. Some parasites can spread to people, making this test important for the whole family.

How Often:

1-4 times per year

Parasite & Tick Screening

Why It Matters:

Catches life-threatening infections spread by ticks and mosquitoes before they cause permanent damage to pets, including heartworm disease.

How Often:

1-2 times per year

Wellness Bloodwork

Why It Matters:

Provides a window into kidney, thyroid, and overall organ health. Detecting conditions early increases treatment success and supports longer, healthier lives for pets.

How Often:

1-2 times per year (more often for senior pets)


Adding these annual wellness screenings to your pet's routine check-ups can help keep them happy and healthy all year long.

When we know better, we love better.
