When it comes to their cats’ health, your clients don’t want to miss a thing. In fact, 80% of cat owners said they would pay for this test if their veterinarians recommended it.1

The SNAP FIV/FeLV Combo Test makes it easy to screen for infection during a brief appointment.

  • Develop a standard clinic protocol for FIV/FeLV testing.
  • Include FIV/FeLV testing on reminder cards for all cats receiving an FeLV vaccine.
  • Offer an FIV/FeLV observation form (PDF) and client brochure (PDF) to every cat owner who enters the clinic.
  • Support education on testing with client brochures and posters available through IDEXX.
  • Initiate a discussion with your clients about their pets’ environments, personalities and habits to determine if their cats have been exposed.
