Wellness Exam
A comprehensive annual exam helps to identify health issues early so your canine family members can receive early intervention for the best possible care.
Vaccine and wellness preventative care recommendations are based on the American Animal Hospital Association guidelines.

Intestinal Parasite Screen
Intestinal parasites can cause illness or even death in your pet. Some parasites can be transmitted to people (zoonotic)! An annual parasite screen is recommended.
