Proactive Health Screening Tests

At Forest Crossing Animal Hospital, prevention is at the core of our care philosophy. Our advanced health screening services help identify genetic, metabolic, and early-stage conditions before they become emergencies—empowering you to keep your pet healthy well into their golden years.

What Health Screenings Do We Offer?

  • Von Willebrand’s Disease Screening
    A genetic bleeding disorder often unknown until a minor injury or surgery. Essential testing for high-risk breeds such as German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Poodles.

  • Renal Dysplasia Testing
    A hereditary kidney development disorder commonly seen in breeds like Shih Tzus and Lhasa Apsos. Early screening helps guide breeding decisions and long-term care.

  • Genetic Health Analysis (GHA)
    A simple cheek swab reveals breed lineage and screens for over 265 genetic health markers—including MDR1 drug sensitivity—so we can build a personalized health plan based on your dog’s genetics.

  • Hip Dysplasia Assessment
    Detect joint instability early in breeds prone to hip issues. 

How Our Screening Process Works

  • Veterinary Evaluation
    We review your pet’s breed, age, lifestyle, and health history to determine the most beneficial screening options.

  • Simple, Low-Stress Testing
    Most screenings involve an easy cheek swab or blood sample—no stress, no fuss.

  • Informed Planning
    Results enable proactive care decisions—whether that means preventive treatment, specialized monitoring, or preparing for safe breeding.

  • Long-Term Wellness Strategy
    Incorporate screening outcomes into annual wellness visits, ensuring timely updates and tailored care as your pet ages.
