From daily practice

Practice cases reported by customers

Travel profileDog

“Dog after a Mediterranean holiday, unclear blood count. The Travel profile showed ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis at the same time. We would not have found that so quickly with single tests. Result the same day: the owners did not have to wait for the lab.”
