Two Ways You Save
We calculate our savings in two ways. First, our care packages offer an up-front discount compared to purchasing all the tests separately. Second, they catch diseases early, saving you from paying pricey emergency room fees.
Early disease detection means fewer emergencies — Keeping your pet out of the hospital keeps money in your wallet!
Our Wellness Screenings Can Bring You and Your Pet The Following Benefits
Catch Parasites Early
We test your pet’s blood and intestines for nasty pests — some of which can be passed to humans!
Detect Hidden Diseases
Cats and dogs often hide symptoms of dangerous conditions. These can be fatal if left undetected.
Customized Care
Our preventive screening packages are tailored to fit your pet’s age, lifestyle, and health history.
Treatment Savings
A single visit to the emergency room can cost more than a lifetime of annual preventive care.

Screenings Commonly Include the Following Tests:
Chemistry Tests: To screen for kidney, liver, or pancreatic disease, as well as check blood sugar levels.
Complete Blood Count: To evaluate your pet’s overall health.
Electrolyte tests: Ensure your pet is not dehydrated or suffering from an electrolyte imbalance.
Intestinal parasite screening: Fecal test to detect internal parasites, like worms and Giardia. Some of these diseases are transferable to humans.
Blood parasite screen: Identifies if your pet has been exposed to mosquito- or tick-borne illnesses, such as heartworm or Lyme disease.
Urinalysis: Screen for urinary tract infections and related diseases, and evaluate the kidney’s ability to concentrate urine.
Thyroid tests (T4): Determines if the thyroid is producing too little of the thyroid hormone.
Cardiopet ProBNP: Tests if the heart is stressed or is overstretched. *1 in 6 cats has an undetected form of heart disease*
The results of some of these tests may automatically trigger a secondary test. This will be no additional charge to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Click on a question below to learn more about the our health screenings.
How do I know which tests my pet needs?
Our veterinarians tailor each animal’s health screening to suit its age, lifestyle, and special medical needs. Young pets typically need fewer internal organ tests than older animals, and outdoor pets need more tests overall than those that go outside.
When will I receive my pet's results?
Most results are ready within 48 hours, and your veterinarian will call you if the tests find anything amiss.
Do you offer preventive care for pets other than cats or dogs?
Not every species requires comprehensive preventive care. Therefore, we offer preventive medicine to exotic mammals, but not in a discounted bundle.
Do you offer multi-pet discounts?
Yes! Contact us for more information.
Do these packages include vaccines?
Vaccines are offered separately and are not included in health screening costs. Contact us if you’d like us to review your pets records to see which vaccines your pet needs.
