As part of our physical exam of your pet, we assess every pet for his or her risk of infectious diseases. These diseases we see regionally include infectious diseases like Leptospirosis or Feline Leukemia, and internal or external parasites. The results allow us to customize our recommendations for your pet and makes sure your pet receives the appropriate level of protection for his or her lifestyle.

The higher the risk your pet faces the more protection your pet will need. By grading every pet’s degree of risk we are making sure both pets and their families stay healthy.
