FOUR IMPORTANT REASONS FOR TESTING YOUR PET'S BLOOD

1. The health and safety of your pet is our foremost concern. Because your pet cannot describe symptoms to let us know what might be wrong, we recommend blood tests to give us the answers we need, especially before surgery.

2. Blood chemistry tests provide an inside look at your pet's vital organs. By testing blood chemistries, we can evaluate the status of your pet's major organs. The function of the liver and kidneys is especially important because these organs process and rid the body of medications used during anesthesia.

3. Hematology tests provide an inside look at the blood itself. Blood is composed of different types of cells, It is important to know the status of each prior to surgery.

4. Results of these tests will determine your pet's readiness for surgery. Depending on the results, we may adjust the does or type of anesthetic used or advise delaying surgery.
