VACCINES, TESTS, & SERVICES
Dogs
Appointment Fees:
Brief Wellness Exam with Veterinarian - $20
This is a brief wellness exam intended for healthy pets receiving routine services such as vaccines, preventatives, or basic wellness care. It is not a substitute for a full, comprehensive exam and is not appropriate for pets who are sick, injured, or managing chronic health conditions. Our clinic does not diagnose or treat illness, injury, or disease. Pets with ongoing medical needs should be seen at a full-service veterinary hospital for proper care and diagnostics.
Technician Appointment - $10
Dog Vaccines:
Rabies Vaccine (1 Year) - $20
Rabies Vaccine (3 Year) - $55
Distemper/Parvo (DA2PP) Vaccine - $20
Bordetella Vaccine - $20
Leptospirosis Vaccine - $20
Tests:
Heartworm Test - $25*
A follow-up heartworm test may be required 6 months after your pet's initial test and starting monthly prevention. After that, testing is required every 12 months, as long as there are no missed or late doses. This protocol follows the guidelines recommended by the American Heartworm Society, which states that it takes approximately 6 months after a mosquito bite for a heartworm infection to become detectable on a test. This means that even if your pet starts prevention today and tests negative, the test may not catch a very early infection that occurred just before or around the time of starting prevention.
If no previous medical records are provided showing a recent negative heartworm test and consistent, uninterrupted use of heartworm prevention, we cannot verify your pet’s protection prior to their first visit. In these cases, a re-test at 6 months is essential to ensure that an early infection was not missed. Annual testing remains important even for pets on prevention, as no medication is 100% effective and missed or late doses can put your pet at risk. Following this testing schedule helps us catch infections early and keep your pet healthy and protected.

Your pet must be bright, alert, responsive, hydrated, and eating and drinking normally to receive wellness services at our clinic. If your pet is sick or injured, we advise you to reach out to a local full-service veterinarian as soon as possible to provide medical care to your pet.
New patients will receive a brief wellness examination with one of our licensed veterinarians to determine if they are healthy enough for vaccines and/or other services. For a complete, comprehensive physical exam to discuss any problem your pet is having, please see your full-service veterinarian. If Save An Angel's veterinarian determines a patient does not meet the minimum health requirements for services, the patient will be declined to ensure the patient’s health. This declination of service is for a pet’s well-being and the patient will be referred to a local, full-service veterinary clinic for care.

Frequently Asked Questions
A follow-up heartworm test may be required 6 months after your dog’s initial test and starting monthly prevention, followed by testing every 12 months as long as there are no missed or late doses. This protocol follows the guidelines set by the American Heartworm Society (AHS) and is designed to ensure accurate detection and effective prevention of heartworm disease.
Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes, and once a dog is infected, it takes approximately six months for the heartworm larvae to mature into adult worms that can be detected by current testing methods. This means that if a dog is bitten by an infected mosquito shortly before or around the time of their initial test, the result may be a false negative because the infection is too recent to detect.
If prior veterinary records are not provided showing a recent negative heartworm test and consistent, uninterrupted use of monthly prevention, we cannot confirm whether your dog was protected before their first visit to our clinic. In these cases, a re-test at 6 months is essential to rule out any early or undetected infection that may have been present at the time of the initial test.
After this 6-month recheck, dogs should be tested annually as long as prevention is given on time every month with no missed or late doses. If a dose is missed or given late, your dog may need to be re-tested again 6 months later, as a lapse in protection creates a window of risk for infection.
Heartworm testing is a critical part of keeping your dog healthy. Even when dogs appear healthy and are on prevention, routine testing is necessary to catch any infection early before it causes serious damage to the heart, lungs, and other organs. Following the American Heartworm Society’s recommendations helps ensure that your dog remains safe, healthy, and protected from this preventable but potentially life-threatening disease.
