Although the physical exam plays a crucial role in evaluating the health of your pet, many diseases are not discovered without performing regular laboratory testing. 

 

Dr. Lauren recommends yearly testing for detection of tick-borne diseases, an annual fecal test to screen for intestinal parasites, and baseline bloodwork so that early detection of changes can be determined as a pet ages.  If changes are noted, a treatment plan will be determined to postpone or prevent disease progression.
