Hello everyone,
The testing and monitoring our pets is important to prevent disease. We also know there are limited finances to keep our pets health - as much as we love them.
One thing we have been able to do through blood test screening is with dogs and heartworm testing. In the past, our 'heartworm test' was a test that only checked for heartworm disease. Specifically the test checks for the 'antigen' (shells) of the worms.
Our new test also does a screening for 'B. burgfordeii, E. Canis, Anaplasomsis.
Those are the medical names for Lyme, Rocky Mounted Spotted Fever, and Babesiosis.
These diseases are not _as_ common here in the greater Peoria area, but it is still becoming more common, and as we have a more mobile pet population, we want to know what our pets are exposed to.
The best part of the test is that there is no extra fee for this test! All 4 tests for one price, and we get the results within 8 minutes of the test being started, so we get the results right away.
If you have a friend who would like to have this test, feel free to invite them to call and ask for the test. We can do this for any dog.
Enjoy the great weather this weekend!
