These smiling faces are a quick reminder of the importance of yearly wellness check ups. We are always happy to see our canine and feline patients once a year for vaccine updates , fecal checks and annual blood tests for Lyme, Ehrlichia, Heartworm, and Anaplasmosis in dogs and Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Disease in cats.

Clients often ask how prevelent these diseases are in Vermont. 

A recent study reports Lyme disease was detected in 12% if Vermont dogs tested, and Anaplasmosis was detected in 21% of dogs tested. Another study has found Feline Leukemia prevalent in 7-8% cats tested in a specific area.

​Testing, preventative medications and vaccines will help avoid the tragedy associated with these diseases. We are here to help-just give us a call.
