The new WISDOM Panel MX uses advanced genetic science to detect more than 130 AKC recognized breeds in mixed breed dogs.
It may offer insights about personality or appearance of your dog. It may help veterinarians initiate care plans with specific breed traits in mind.

DNA Profiling for dogs has been developed through years of scientific research. The information you gain from knowing your dog's genetic profile can prove invaluable for relating to your dog and assisting your veterinarian in treating your dog. A simple blood test is done and sent off to our DNA laboratory for analysis and within a few days to weeks, your results are back. The laboratory and WISDOM Panel MX we use will detect specific combinations of genetic markers to help reveal the breed heritage of your dog.

Spring is here and so is flea and tick season!
Protecting your pet against fleas and ticks are an important part of your pet's overall health. Ticks can carry diseases that can make your pet sick and require medical treatment. Fleas can not only infest your four legged friend, they can get in your home as well. We recommend Frontline for dogs and cats as an effective way to battle those pesky parasites. Frontline is a topical monthly treatment for the prevention of fleas and ticks and can be purchased at your veterinarian office.

Microchipping has been around for many years with a great success rate of reuniting lost pets with owners. As spring storm season approaches, the risk for pets running away during loud and damaging storms is much greater. Microchipping can aid in having your pet returned to you if he or she becomes displaced. Making sure your pets have collars with current tags is important as well. We all want our loved ones to be safe and to come home again in the event we are separated. Our hospital uses the AVID microchip. We have personally experienced reuniting pets and their owners through microchips. Please call our office for more information if you are interested in the benefits of microchipping.
