PREVENTATIVE CARE
DOGS & CATS
RABIES VACCINE
Zoetis Vanguard Rabies
Rabies is a core vaccination that is required by law for dogs and strongly recommended for cats. Vaccination of dogs and cats helps prevent this fatal neurologic disease from being transmitted to humans. There is no treatment or cure for rabies virus infection.
FECAL TESTING & DEWORMING
Fecal testing is a microscopic examination of your pet’s feces for intestinal parasites that threaten your pet’s health. Roundworms and hookworms are common parasites of pets that can be transmitted to and also infect humans. Deworming your pet yearly is important as sometimes parasite eggs are not detectable in the feces of infected pets.
HEARTWORM PREVENTION
Heartworm preventatives are available in injections (ProHeart 12 injections are for adult dogs only), monthly tablets, or monthly topical solutions. Testing for heartworm disease is required before starting prevention, and then testing is required yearly to maintain your pet’s prescription.
BLOOD PROFILES & URINALYSIS
Blood profiles and urinalysis are diagnostics to help detect internal organ problems, such as kidney disease, liver disease, thyroid disease, adrenal gland disease, diabetes, bladder infections, and urinary crystals. Early detection and treatment of diseases can lengthen and improve the quality of your pet’s life.
FLEA & TICK PREVENTION
Prevention against ticks is very important due to the number of life-threatening diseases ticks can transmit. Fleas also cause a number of severe problems, including allergic dermatitis due to the saliva in flea bites and the transmission of tapeworms. In severe infestations, fleas can cause anemia.
CHEST X-RAYS
Chest x-rays can detect lung disease, signs of cancer, and changes in heart size and shape due to heart disease.
DOGS
VETSCAN CANINE FLEX4
DAPP VACCINE
Zoetis Vanguard DAPP
Service Name
The Flex4 tests for Heartworm disease, Ehrlichiosis (Tick Fever), Anaplasmosis, and Lyme disease. Heartworm is a long parasitic worm that infects the heart and lungs and is transmitted by mosquitoes that have fed on infected dogs or coyotes. This disease is difficult to treat and can be deadly. Ehrlichiosis, Anaplasmosis, and Lyme disease are bacterial infections transmitted by ticks that can be life-threatening.
Distemper virus, Viral hepatitis, Parainfluenza virus, and Parvovirus are debilitating and can cause death. Nearly every dog will be exposed during its lifetime, making DAPP vaccination a must. Parvo is a highly contagious and life-threatening viral infection that results in bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration.

BORDETELLA VACCINE
Bordetella vaccination protects against pneumonia caused by the Bordetella bacterium, one of the common causes of “Kennel Cough” (rhinotracheitis). This vaccine is important for dogs that are kenneled, groomed, shown, that go to dog parks, and are often around other dogs.
LEPTOSPIROSIS VACCINE
Leptospirosis vaccination protects against a zoonotic disease (transmissible to humans) that can cause kidney and liver failure in the animals it infects. The Leptospira bacteria are transmitted through the skin from infected urine from animals that can live both in the city and the countryside.
CANINE INFLUENZA VACCINE
Canine influenza vaccine protects against both highly contagious canine influenza viruses (H3N2 and H3N8). Canine influenza viruses cause respiratory tract infection in dogs that can lead to severe lung disease and death. This vaccine is important for dogs that are kenneled, groomed, shown, that go to dog parks, and are often around other dogs.
FVRCP VACCINE
Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (feline herpesvirus-1), Calici Virus, and Panleukopenia are all highly contagious respiratory viruses of cats that can be life-threatening. Nearly every cat will be exposed to one or more of these viruses in its lifetime, making FVRCP vaccination a must.
FELV VACCINE
Feline Leukemia Virus causes a severely depressed immune system so the cat’s body can’t fight diseases and ultimately dies from infection. Testing for FeLV must be performed prior to vaccination as this disease can be transmitted from the mother cat to her kittens, or the virus can be dormant for years before showing signs of infection.
FELINE HEARTWORM, FELV, FIV TEST
Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) are viruses that can cause debilitating and life-threatening infections in cats.
HEARTWORM DISEASE IN CATS
Heartworm is a long parasitic worm that infects the heart and lungs and is transmitted by mosquitos that have fed on infected dogs or coyotes. This disease often causes asthma-like signs in cats and can cause sudden death. Heartworm disease cannot be treated in cats, making prevention a must.
