Annual Blood and Urine Testing
Annual Blood and Urine Testing at Animal Medical Center of Surprise, AZ
At the Animal Medical Center of Surprise, we believe in a proactive, preventative veterinary care approach for your beloved pets. Located in Surprise, Arizona, our veterinary hospital is committed to going beyond the physical exam to ensure your pet’s long-term health.
While a nose-to-tail physical exam is crucial, it only assesses external health. To truly understand your pet's well-being and catch potential issues early, we recommend our Annual Complete Blood/Urine profile. This comprehensive pet wellness panel assesses vital internal organ function that a physical exam alone cannot.
Our Annual Complete Blood/Urine profile consists of four key components:
CBC (Complete Blood Cell Count):
This essential test provides a detailed look at your pet's red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelet levels. It is vital for identifying issues like anemia, infection, inflammation, or clotting disorders.
CHEMISTRY Panel:
Our in-house veterinary lab work includes a chemistry panel to evaluate the function of critical organs, including the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It also checks crucial electrolytes, helping us spot systemic diseases early.
THYROID Function Test:
This test manages the body’s overall metabolism. Detecting abnormal thyroid levels is important, as low levels can lead to weight gain and lethargy, while elevated levels often cause unexplained weight loss and other health issues.
URINALYSIS:
A urinalysis provides critical information about your pet’s hydration, kidney function, and urinary tract health. We specifically check for concentrating ability, pH levels, the presence of crystals, red or white blood cells, and bacteria, which can indicate urinary tract infections or other serious conditions.
Investing in these annual diagnostics is a great way to partner with your local veterinarian to keep your pet happy, healthy, and by your side for years to come. Schedule your pet’s next preventative care appointment today!
