Dogs and cats cannot explain what they feel in words. Many diseases start silently inside the
body and show symptoms only when the condition is already advanced. Regular lab testing is the
easiest way to catch these problems early.
What is “continuous” or regular testing?
Regular testing means doing basic blood and urine tests at fixed intervals – for example:
- Yearly health check-up for all adult pets
- Every 6 months for senior pets (above 7–8 years)
- More frequent testing if your pet already has kidney, liver, heart or hormonal disease
Which tests are usually done?
- CBC (Complete Blood Count): checks anemia, infection and platelet levels.
- Biochemistry Profile: checks liver, kidney, sugar and electrolytes.
- Urine Analysis: detects kidney disease, urinary infection and diabetes early.
- Fecal Examination: screens for intestinal worms and some infections.
How does testing help your pet?
- Detects diseases before visible signs like vomiting, weight loss or weakness appear.
- Helps the veterinarian choose safe medicines and anesthesia.
- Allows monitoring of treatment response in chronic diseases.
- Gives you peace of mind that your pet is truly healthy from inside.
