January - Blood Work Month

Why perform a blood screen?
Our pets are experts at hiding illness. In fact, by the time your pet shows clinical signs, many diseases are moderately to severely advanced. 
Performing an annual blood screen allows us to identify disease EARLY. This means we can start a management plan aimed at slowing disease progression and improving your pet's quality of life.  ​Blood screens also provide us a great baseline for healthy pets!


What are we actually testing on a blood screen?

A complete blood screen will assess the following parameters in your pet:
  • Red and white cell counts - this helps us look for evidence of anemia (low red cell count), infection, and inflammation
  • Kidney function
  • Endocrine disease (ex: thyroid illness, diabetes)
  • Pancreatic disease
  • Liver disease

Will my pet tolerate blood collection and how long does it take?
​
Blood collection is generally a quick and easy procedure that only takes a couple of minutes. 
We use safe and minimal restraint techniques with lots of treats as a reward!
Blood results are received very quickly - anywhere from 20 min (in clinic lab) to 24 hours (sent out to pathology lab)


​Why is annual testing important for pets?
Our pets age much faster than humans. 
In fact, 1 year in a pets life is equal to approximately 7 years for a human. 
​​
Over this 12 month period many health changes can occur.
Annual physical exams and blood screening are extremely helpful in assessing and improving your pet's health.
