We are purring with excitement over Affordable Pet Labs! Dr. Rory Lubold and Dr. Joe Menicucci are both veterinarians, as well as friends since college. They decided our animal's health care tests needed to both easier and more affordable to us humans.

Their company, Affordable Pet Labs, offers a large number of diagnostic tests that we can do at home and simply mail in to get the results. Then, Affordable Pet Labs will share the results with both the pet owner and their vet. Their tests are also much more affordably priced, too. Added bonus: you won’t need to get your cat into a carrier and take him to the vet for these tests!

Join Rita and Linda to hear more about this service and we think you will purr with happiness, too! Visit AffordablePetLabs.com to order your tests today!
