Breed Specific Wellness Care For Dogs
Advances in canine genetics have provided us with the ability to track certain diseases by breed. The life span and health of your dog can vary based on their size and breed. All of our canine friends will receive a breed specific wellness check at his or her yearly check up. Our Breed Specific Wellness Program ensures that your dog is receiving the best individualized care possible!

- Large, deep-chested dogs are vulnerable to bloat, which occurs when air is swallowed, or when gas or fluid causes the dog’s stomach to swell dramatically; this is a serious and life-threatening illness that requires immediate attention, and is more likely to be spotted with breed-specific care.
