Fit-for-Life Weight Management Program
25% of cats and dogs seen by a veterinarian are overweight. The effects of excess weight can include: shorter life expectancy, joint disorders, cardiac and respiratory diseases, Diabetes Mellitus, poor coat and skin quality, decreased immunity and increased surgical and/or anesthetic risk.
To help you control your pet's weight we can offer you a special program for weight loss. A number of monitoring aids are available to help your pet through a diet smoothly and successfully. This is a wonderful key to a healthier, happier pet.
The Wisdom Panel
What kind of dog do you have? What is in the mix of your mixed-breed dog? By analyzing your dog's DNA to detect breeds in its genetic makeup, the Wisdom Panel test may deepen your insights and improve your understanding of your pet.
Why should you know? Wanting to know your dog's breed mix is much more than a matter of curiosity. The combination of breeds that make up a dog may affect its appearance, behavior and well-being in many ways.
The important genetic information provided can help our veterinary team develop a care plan specifically tailored to your dog's individual needs.
The genetic test analysis profiles the breeds detected in your dog, including historical background, physical traits, and breed-associated behaviors.

Feel free to download and fill out our Dermatology History Form if you have made a dermatology appointment with Dr. Hernandez.
