I am sorry to hear about your experience J A. The only test recently recommended for your dog was a HWT which is the recommendation by the American Heartworm Association. The other thing that was recommended was a yearly examination that is REQUIRED by law in order for a veterinarian to prescribe heartworm prevention as it is a prescription medication. As to the gender confusion, I apologize if I offended you as I do make it a priority to know my patient's gender prior to the examination. The only testing I ever recommend is what I believe is in the best interest of the patient and I always let the pet owner make the final decision on the care of their pet. Our team approach here at Bowman is to provide the best, most compassionate care to our clients and their pets.
