We recommend blood work at the time of the annual exam for pets of all ages.
This allows your pet to be screened for any changes or abnormalities that are visible only at the microscopic level.
In turn, we may then be able to address any concerns before they manifest into signs or symptoms. To best vet your pet, we offer the following options for blood panels.
Profile #1 (Wellness)
Recommended for patients 2 years and under
Includes: Complete Blood Count (assesses anemia, infection, clotting), BUN (kidney), Creatinine (kidney), Glucose (sugar), ALP (liver), ALT (liver), Total Protein (hydration)
Profile #2 (CBC/Chem)
Recommended for patients 2-7 years of age
All the tests in Profile #1 plus Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, ALB (protein), Globulin (immune), Phosphorous (kidney), Bilirubin (liver), Amylase (pancreas), Calcium (certain cancers)
Profile #3 (Comprehensive)

Checking bloodwork at the time of the annual or at heartworm testing time is optimal. Please give us a call today if you have any questions or would like to schedule your pets annual today!
