Spring Tick Testing Clinic

It’s that time again!

What: Spring Low-Cost Tick Disease Testing Clinic

When: Sunday, April 18

Deadline to Register: Wednesday, April 14

We are conducting our Spring Low-Cost Tick Disease Testing Clinic on Sunday
afternoon on April 18 at the Hern Greyt Works (Kennel).

Obviously, we will again be doing this clinic by following the current
protocols used by Veterinary clinics.

We are restricting access to the Kennel building. As before, you will be
required to register and pay online. In addition, you must secure an
appointment slot. If you’ve already tested your dog but want to help with
our available dogs at the GPI Kennel to be tested, please donate. Any amount
is very much appreciated. If any of the dogs test positive and the consulting
Veterinarian recommend a treatment, the dog will be treated before being
adopted.

Please arrive at your scheduled time and follow GPI Volunteer’s instruction
on where to wait. You and your dog will remain in the car (please wear your
face masks) until a GPI volunteer meets you at your car to receive your dog.
Our wonderful GPI volunteer Veterinarians will be drawing the blood inside our
building and once your dog’s blood is drawn, our GPI volunteer will return
your dog back to you.

Our volunteer, Bev Mitchell, has set up the link below to sign up if you want
your dog to be tested on Sunday, April 18.

If your dog had a past positive to the Babesia Canis or any other Tick Borne
Diseases, this will be a good opportunity to do a PCR test.
