Early Disease Detection in Pets

Safe Harbor Animal Hospital Wellness Exams

Pets can’t say when they are feeling ill. It’s often how they act or look that tells us something is amiss. For this reason, early disease detection testing is vital for monitoring your pet’s overall health. It does not only lower a disease’s impact on your pet’s life but increases the chances of managing it successfully. At Safe Harbor Animal Hospital, we offer a comprehensive early disease detection testing services for pets in Pensacola, Florida.

Our veterinary team encourages all our clients to gain a complete picture of their pet’s health, whether young or old. Also, we believe it is vital to have regular early disease detection testing to monitor your pet’s overall health.

Early Detection Panels (EDP) are physical examinations of the internal body. They are usually performed for pet’s aged one to seven years old as part of their annual physical exam. EDP is a broad testing method comprised of:

  • A Blood Chemistry Panel - measures the levels of a variety of substances in the blood and aids in diagnosing diseases such as diabetes, liver and kidney disease.

  • A Complete Blood Count - provides a comprehensive look at different blood cells and helps diagnose conditions such as anemia, infection, and dehydration.

  • A Urinalysis - gives us specific data about your pet’s kidney and urinary tract function and shows any abnormalities associated with the kidney or bladder, including kidney and urinary tract infections, diabetes, and kidney stones.

Early Detection Panels can diagnose diseases before your pet begins to display any symptoms. If these illnesses are caught early, we can make environmental and dietary changes and begin the necessary treatments to provide your beloved pet with the best quality of life possible. To schedule an EDP for your pet, call us or stop by our office today at Safe Harbor Animal Hospital in Pensacola, Florida.

During your pet's exam our veterinarians and staff will:


  • Administer vaccines.


  • Consult on your pet's behavior, appetite, exercise habits, and regualr activities at home and provide nutritional counseling.


  • Discuss heartworm, flea and tick and parasite control.


  • Listen to your pet's heart for heart murmurs, abnormal heart beat pattern (arrhythmias) and signs of heart disease can be heard through a stethoscope.


  • Listen to your pet's lungs - By listening to your pet's lungs with a stethoscope, we can detect infections, diseases or other problems and assess the overall pulmonary health of your pet.


  • Examine your pet's teeth and mouth - Dental disease is the most common disease we see. Examining your pet's teeth and mouth allows us to determine level of infection and impaction, plaque and tartar so recommend needed dental cleanings. Puppies and kittens also need to be checked to ensure they are developing properly.


  • Evaluate your pet's eyes - Ocular conditions can be prevented through regular care and screenings. We will look for dry eyes, cataracts, corneal ulcers and glaucoma.


  • Look into your pet's ears - Check for ear mites, redness, odor or discharge or other signs of ear infections. Allergies and outdoor activities can irritate your pet's ears.


  • Feel the skin, lymph nodes and abdomen - We visually look and physically feel for lumps, bumps, or swellings and skin discolorations, lesions or patterns of hair loss or thinning. These can indicate the presence systemic problems or metabolic diseases.


  • Feel joints and muscles - By feeling and moving the joints and limbs, we look for swollen joints, decreased muscle tone and variations in muscle size and will observe your pet's gait. Depending on your pet's age, we will look for developmental problems in young pets such as hip or elbow problems, or signs of arthritis in our older friends.


  • Perform blood and lab tests - A complete physical exam should include a heartworm test as well as blood and urine tests each year. Not only can these tests identify the presence of underlying disease, they create a baseline should your pet become ill. A few simple tests give us so many results about your pet's kidneys, liver, pancreas, blood sugar, white and red blood cells and platelet counts.


  • Screen for parasites - A recommended fecal examination allows us to check for parasites or worms in your pet.
