The Kings Park Animal Hospital, an American Animal Hospital Association
member since 1989, recommends the following vaccines and health care services
for your pet.
PARASITE CHECK
At least once a year, bring in a stool (bowel movement) sample to be
checked for the presence of intestinal parasites. Even totally indoor cats and
dogs can have worms. Puppies and kittens are born with worms if the mother
had worms. The larval stage of the worm sequesters in the muscles and lies
dormant for years. If your pet is stressed, such as a move to another home or a
child leaving for college or the addition of a new pet, etc., the larva can leave the
muscle and travel to the GI tract where they develop into adult worms. Some of
these worms are zoonotic (contagious to people). Some only cause an unsightly
rash and itching and scarring of the skin, some cause blindness and others
cause mental retardation in people. All these intestinal parasites are easily
prevented or treated.
For the month of May, our laboratory is offering a special on fecal tests - only
$9.99. That's less than a Carmel Macchiato and muffin at Starbucks!! Isn't it
worth protecting all your family members with just a simple fecal test? (Offer

BASELINE BLOOD VALUES
Blood values in pets have a range of normals just as their temperature does.
A normal temperature for a dog or cat is between 100 and 102 degrees. But, if
your pet's normal temperature is always 100.9 and he is examined and suddenly
has a temperature of 102, that is not normal for him even though the value is still
in the normal range. How do we know what your pet's normal temperature is?
We take his temperature every time he comes in for an office visit.
The same thing is true for blood values. If we take yearly blood tests to
check the CBC and chemistry values of your pet, we will know what his normal
values are. This way if something changes, we will be able to diagnose and treat
a problem earlier when it is less stressful for your pet and less expensive for you.
For the month of June our laboratory is offering a CBC and chemistry blood
panel for only $60. That's only $5 per month to budget for peace of mind. (offer
