Q: What role does blood work play in keeping my pet healthy?

A: A physical examination performed at a minimum of every six months will enable us to detect the presence of small problems or changes in your pet’s health before they can become major health problems.  However, a thorough physical examination alone is not capable of detecting all possible health problems.  It is impossible to obtain and understand a complete picture without also performing other tests.  

Blood work gives us a means of checking your pet’s internal functions in a non-invasive manner.
