Why does my pet need annual wellness panel blood screening?

  

Our pets can't speak, they cannot tell us if they feel unwell or have any other indicators of internal illness. Pets can actively mask signs of illness until late in the course of disease. This stems from survival instincts in a pack or colony situation. We need to examine your pet annually and recommend running wellness panels to detect any underlying diseases before they are clinically apparent. We offer a variety of wellness panels to choose from based on your pet's needs. We believe testing annually gives us the best chance of helping your pet's live longer, healthier lives.
