Screenings
|
Why do our pets need surveillance screening?
Our pets can't speak to us. They cannot tell us if they feel unwell or have any other indicators of internal illness. We recommend yearly exams as well as routine screening tests to detect underlying disease BEFORE it is clinically apparent.
Secondly, pets will actively mask signs of illness until late in the course of disease. This stems from survival instincts in a pack or colony situation.
