A PET OWNER’S GUIDE TO LABORATORY TESTING
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
  This tests for anemia, infection, inflammation and the healthiness of blood cells.
- Chemistry Tests
  These panels survey many of the organ systems of the body to make sure they are working properly.

- Thyroid Function Tests
  These tests are useful in diagnosing increased (hyper) or decreased (hypo) functions of the thyroid gland.
- Urinalysis
  This test assesses the health and function of the urinary system. This is especially important in older animals to help with the
  early detection of kidney disease.
