We will be glad to talk to you about the need for
yearly heartworm tests in your dog and how you can prevent this fatal disease.
We would also recommend checking a fecal sample and doing
their yearly heartworm test.
Our doctors follow
the yearly heartworm testing guides set forth by the American Heartworm Society.
If your pet only receives Heartworm prevention for a portion of the year, or has had a lapse in protection, we recommend
a yearly Heartworm Test.
Dog owners should make sure their pets have
a yearly heartworm test (FACE offers these tests for just $ 25), and that both their cats and dogs are on heartworm preventative.
This is accomplished by
a yearly heartworm test for dogs to ensure that your pet doesn't already have the disease.
Dogs should receive
a yearly heartworm test that includes blood tests for tick - borne disease like Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis.
Yearly heartworm tests should always be done regardless of medication.
• Review medical, surgical, and environmental history since last visit • Complete physical examination: eyes, ears, nose, skin and haircoat, muscles, bones, lymph nodes, heart, lungs, pulse, nervous system • Review vaccination requirements and administer necessary vaccines •
Yearly heartworm test • Yearly fecal flotation exam • Bloodwork and urinalysis every year beginning at age 7 • Bloodwork every six months if on long - term medication
It is very easy to administer these blood tests at the same time we perform
the yearly heartworm test.
