Fecal testing identifies intestinal parasites, while heartworm screening helps detect exposure and guide prevention or treatment.
Having immediate access to results allows us to move from symptoms to answers without delay. This is especially important when your pet is unwell, but it also plays a key role in routine screenings where early changes can be identified before visible symptoms develop.
