The numbers don’t lie — and they remind us just how important preventative care truly is. 🩺🐾
Many heartworm and tick-borne diseases can develop quietly, with pets showing little to no symptoms in the early stages. That’s why annual testing is such an important part of your pet’s routine healthcare. Early detection allows us to identify problems sooner, begin treatment earlier, and help improve long-term outcomes for the pets we love most. ❤️
At Arizona Animal Hospital, we strongly recommend yearly screening for diseases like heartworm, Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis as part of your pet’s annual exam. Even pets who appear perfectly healthy can test positive, which is why routine testing and prevention are so important.
The good news? Testing is quick, simple, and gives us valuable information about your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. Preventative care helps us stay one step ahead and gives pet parents added peace of mind knowing they’re doing everything they can to protect their furry family members. ☀️🐶🐱
If you have questions about your pet’s annual testing or preventative care plan, our team is always happy to help!
