Full Laboratory Blood Tests

Blood or lab tests allow us to obtain information about your dog's health that can only be found from collecting a sample of blood and having it analyzed. This includes a CBC (complete blood count) and blood chemistries, which analyze chemical components in the blood. A CBC for dogs identifies and quantifies white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets in a given amount of blood. This includes analyzing the shape and condition of the cells for health and functionality. This provides information about your dog's immune system (white blood cells) and oxygen carrying capacity (red blood cell count).
