It’s hard to believe the holidays are rapidly approaching. Time flies! That is why it is SO important to check your files and see when your pet last had a blood test and urine analysis. Sadly pets’ life cycles are more rapid than a human’s and if it has been more than a year for your dog for example, that is the rough equivalent of 7 years! Would you wait 7 years before having your lab tests done? Lab tests are very important because pets can have health issues cropping up without any outward symptoms. A classic example is kidney disease. Typically, getting your senior pet's blood tested every 6 months nd a young pet's blood tested annually is recommended by veterinarians.
Before the holidays get too crazy, please schedule a date to bring your pet to the vet. Yes it’s a hassle and yes it’s expensive —— but early detection saves lives!
