Annual Blood Testing

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)

Recommend for patients 7 years of age and older

All the tests in Profile #1 and #2 plus T4 (thyroid function), Cholesterol

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!
