P.E.T.S Clinic Offering Free Canine Heartworm Tests
Alyssa Gutierrez, JR. Biology is currently a veterinary technician at the P.E.T.S Clinic. Post-graduation, Alyssa wants to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. Her advice to future students is: “Volunteer or work in the animal field to get amazing experience and understand what you can do now and in the future.”

P.E.T.S Clinic is offering free canine Heartworm Tests in February when you purchase a 12-month supply of preventative at the clinic, or half price testing all month long with no purchase necessary.

Heartworm disease is FATAL. It's also difficult and expensive to treat. The great news is, prevention is easy and affordable. When you keep your pet on heartworm prevention, you also prevent other types of worms that can be transmitted to you and your family.
