Wellness Exams

Each animal that comes to a VeTouch clinic will receive a thorough physical examination by a veterinary student. This is done to ensure that pets are healthy enough to vaccinate or to address any health concerns clients may have about their animal. Aspects of the physical examination include listening to the heart and lungs, feeling the abdomen for any abnormal masses, checking the skin for parasites, and looking at the face to assess things like eye and dental health.

Heartworm Testing

All dogs over the age of 1 year will receive a heartworm test, which consists of a simple blood draw and in-house 10 minute test. Heartworm is a parasite transmitted by mosquitoes that can cause a fatal infection of the cardiovascular system. It is recommended to test all dogs annually, and to keep dogs on a heartworm preventative to prevent transmission of the parasite from mosquitoes.
