Run organ, electrolyte, protein, glucose, and metabolic markers for wellness care and case assessment.
Dog and Cat Bloodwork
Support blood work for dogs, cat blood tests, canine blood panels, and feline wellness profiles.
Pre-Anesthetic Blood Work
Use CBC and chemistry results before procedures to help practice teams evaluate anesthesia risk.
Monitoring Bloodwork
Track chronic disease, medication effects, and follow-up trends with repeat veterinary blood tests.
Submission Guidance
Confirm tubes, handling, pickup, shipping, and test selection before samples leave the practice.
When Practices Use CBC and Chemistry Testing
Use veterinary hematology and chemistry testing when a patient needs baseline bloodwork, internal health screening, monitoring, or lab data before the next clinical decision.
- 1
Blood work for dogs, cats, or other patients during a wellness visit.
- 2
Sick patient needs a CBC and chemistry panel to guide next steps.
- 3
Pre-anesthetic bloodwork before a procedure or treatment.
- 4
Repeat bloodwork for chronic condition or medication monitoring.
- 5
Help confirming tubes, handling, shipping, or submission details.
Common Sample Issues That Delay CBC and Chemistry Results
Most rejected or repeated bloodwork traces back to a few preventable collection problems.
Hemolysis
Rough draws, undersized needles, and forcing blood through the needle rupture cells and skew potassium, phosphorus, and enzyme values.
Clotted EDTA tubes
Inadequate mixing clots the CBC tube and invalidates the count. Gently invert EDTA tubes several times right after collection.
Wrong tube or fill volume
Underfilled or incorrect tubes change the anticoagulant ratio. Confirm the required tube and fill line for each test before drawing.
Delayed serum separation
Leaving serum or plasma on the clot too long shifts glucose, potassium, and other analytes. Separate and refrigerate promptly when shipping.
