Blood tests are an essential part of diagnosing what is ailing your pet, just as they are in human medicine. It can also be used in conjunction with a yearly physical exam to make sure your pet stays healthy.
Benefits of Annual Wellness Bloodwork Screening
Through annual blood work and urine testing, we are able to get some insight into how your pet's organs are functioning, which can clue us into whether or not those organs are as healthy as your pet looks on the outside. This allows us to confirm wellness, giving you peace of mind.
Annual testing also gives a customized baseline value for your pet, which allows your veterinarian to monitor even subtle changes as your pet ages to better detect and treat any illnesses early, before your pet starts to display symptoms.
Since pets don't typically show us right away when they are feeling sick, annual blood screenings help detect disease before physical symptoms are present, which often saves you money and will usually lead to better treatment success and less stress on your pet.
