New Programs at Millcreek

AVID Identification Chip Systems.

We now offer the chip that can be implanted under your pet’s skin and have your pet registered to your name and address so that your pet can be identified and recovered if lost or stolen. It is quick and easy, does not require an appointment or a doctor visit.  The cost is $37.

Allergy Testing

The volume of pets suffering from allergic skin disease is enormous.  You are not alone if your pet licks and scratches all the time.  It is allergies!  We now offer a simple blood test to identify the allergens your pet is allergic to, as well as order the vaccines to these allergens specific to the needs of your pets.  This method of treating allergies is akin to allergy shots in people, and can be a very effective way of treating allergic skin disease in pets, as well as getting them off of expensive medications.  Just ask for more information about this new service.

The Blood Parasite Test

Did you know that tick borne diseases are increasingly prevalent in South Carolina?  Our new blood parasite test detects two common tick borne diseases: Ehrlichia canis and Lyme’s disease in addition to heartworm disease.  Tick borne diseases are often harbored without clinical symptoms for many months and traditionally had only been detected once a dog is chronically ill.  Previous testing required an expensive test run by an outside lab.  Now we can quickly and easily screen for tick borne diseases in clinic.  This test can be run separately or in conjunction with the normal yearly protocol.

No More Homeless Pets SC License Plates

nomorehomelesspetsHave you seen the new license plates on cars around town? There is a special tag that can be purchased at the DMV with the logo, “No More Homeless Pets” and a picture of a cat and dog (seen to the right).  The proceeds from these tags helps to offset the cost of spays and neuters for low income families through a fund called Maddie’s fund.  Here at Millcreek we intend to participate in this program to help reduce the numbers of unwanted litters and abandoned pets. Visit the SC DMV webiste for more information.
