π’ **Important Update for Our Dog Surgery Clients**
Beginning **September 1st**, there will be an additional **$5 charge for a mandatory heartworm test for all dogs over 1 year of age**. This test is required to help ensure the safety and well-being of your pet before surgery.
πΎ **The test may be waived if your dog has had a negative heartworm test within the last year and is currently on heartworm prevention.** You must provide veterinary records showing the negative test result.
This small increase is due to the rising cost of medical supplies. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for trusting us with your pets! β€οΈπΆ
