23% of all pets that appear healthy at the time of a physical examination have an underlying health problem that can only be detected by a diagnostic blood test.
We recommend an annual panel to evaluate the true health status of your pet.
This test includes:
- A complete blood count (CBC) white and red blood cell counts to detect bacterial infections and anemia.
- A complete chemistry panel for evaluation of organ system functions to detect liver and kidney dysfunction and rule out pancreatitis.
- A thyroid test to detect hypothyroidism in dogs and hyperthyroidism in cats.
- A urinalysis to evaluate overall kidney functions.
- A fecal test to evaluate for presence of intestinal parasites that can be harmful to both you and your pet.
- Heartworm test to confirm the presence of adult heartworms that can cause death to your pet if gone untreated.
