Gastrointestinal Microbiome Evaluation – The gut microbiome plays a critical role in digestion, immune function, inflammation, and even behavior. We offer advanced testing to evaluate your pet’s gastrointestinal microbiome, allowing us to identify imbalances, pathogens, and inflammatory patterns. These insights guide targeted dietary, probiotic, and therapeutic interventions to restore gut health and improve overall wellness.
Mineral & Toxic Metal Testing – Balanced minerals are essential for enzymatic function, immune health, detoxification, and neurologic function. We offer mineral and toxic metal testing to identify deficiencies, imbalances, or harmful exposures that may contribute to chronic disease. This testing allows for precise, individualized supplementation and detoxification strategies when needed.
Mycotoxin Exposure Testing – Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain molds and can contribute to inflammation, immune suppression, neurologic signs, and chronic illness. Pets may be exposed through food or the environment. Mycotoxin testing helps identify hidden contributors to disease and allows us to develop targeted detoxification and support plans to help your pet heal.
Essential Vitamin & Nutrient Assessment – Vitamins and key nutrients are critical to metabolic health, immune function, and cellular repair. We assess essential vitamin levels when indicated to identify deficiencies or imbalances that may be impacting your pet’s health. Correcting these issues with targeted supplementation can significantly improve energy, resilience, and recovery.
Allergy Testing – Allergic disease in pets is complex, multifactorial, and often progressive long term ailment. Rather than relying solely on symptomatic relief, we approach allergy management through comprehensive evaluation and data-driven testing. Our allergy testing options help identify environmental allergies that may be contributing to chronic itchy skin, ear infections, skin barrier dysfunction, and gastrointestinal signs.
Test results allow us to design individualized treatment plans that may include targeted immunotherapy, environmental modification, nutritional support, microbiome optimization, and immune-modulating therapies. This precision-based approach helps reduce chronic inflammation, minimize long-term medication dependence, and improve overall skin and gut health.
We offer allergy testing to help identify environmental or dietary triggers contributing to your pet’s symptoms. Understanding your pet’s specific sensitivities allows us to develop more effective, individualized treatment plans that go beyond symptom suppression and focus on long-term relief. Results guide the development of customized allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT), which works by gradually retraining the immune system to reduce hypersensitivity over time. This approach addresses the underlying allergic response rather than simply suppressing symptoms.
Allergy testing and follow-up care are performed in a calm, fear-free setting with gentle handling and ample time for acclimation. Our goal is not only to improve clinical outcomes, but to support long-term comfort, resilience, and quality of life for pets with allergic disease.
Vaccine Titers – Vaccine titer testing measures your pet’s existing immunity to certain diseases and can help guide individualized vaccination decisions. This approach supports personalized care by reducing unnecessary vaccinations while still prioritizing disease protection and public health considerations.
Hormone Testing – Hormonal balance affects nearly every system in the body, including metabolism, skin health, behavior, and energy levels. We offer comprehensive hormone testing to evaluate thyroid, adrenal, and other endocrine function when clinically indicated. This allows us to identify subtle imbalances and create targeted treatment plans that support optimal health and vitality.
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) Therapy – Ascorbic acid therapy is used in our practice as an adjunctive medical treatment for select oncology patients and those requiring immune support. At pharmacologic doses, ascorbic acid has been shown to exert pro-oxidant, cytotoxic effects within the tumor microenvironment while supporting normal cellular function. In addition to its potential antineoplastic properties, ascorbic acid plays a critical role in immune modulation, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant defense.
We incorporate ascorbic acid therapy thoughtfully and on a case-by-case basis, with careful patient selection, dosing, and monitoring. This therapy is often used to support quality of life by helping maintain energy, appetite, and overall resilience during cancer care. Treatments are administered in a calm, low-stress environment and are designed to complement conventional oncology protocols rather than replace them.
Omega-3 Fatty Acid Testing – Omega-3 fatty acids play a critical role in regulating inflammation, supporting immune function, maintaining skin and coat health, and promoting neurologic and cardiovascular wellness. Despite supplementation being common, absorption and tissue incorporation of omega-3s can vary widely between patients.
We offer omega-3 fatty acid testing to objectively assess a pet’s omega-3 status and fatty acid balance. This data-driven approach allows us to determine whether a patient is deficient, adequately supported, or over-supplemented, and to tailor dosing with precision rather than relying on generalized recommendations.
Omega-3 testing is particularly valuable for pets with inflammatory skin disease, osteoarthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular disease, or chronic inflammatory conditions. By optimizing omega-3 status based on measurable biomarkers, we can more effectively support inflammation control, tissue health, and overall quality of life.
Testing and follow-up care are performed with a strong emphasis on patient comfort in a calm, fear-free environment, ensuring that advanced nutritional assessment is both effective and stress-minimized.
Torigen Autologous Cancer Immunotherapy – Torigen immunotherapy is a personalized cancer treatment that utilizes a patient’s own tumor tissue to create an autologous vaccine designed to stimulate a targeted immune response. By presenting tumor-specific antigens back to the immune system, this therapy aims to enhance immune recognition of cancer cells while minimizing effects on healthy tissue.
We incorporate Torigen as an adjunctive therapy within a comprehensive, individualized oncology plan. It may be used alongside conventional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, as well as integrative supportive therapies. Torigen is selected on a case-by-case basis based on tumor type, disease stage, and overall patient health.
In addition to its potential role in immune-mediated tumor control, Torigen therapy is often pursued with the goal of supporting long-term disease management and maintaining quality of life
