The Chem 10 Blood test panel checks for diabetes, kidney function, liver function, some muscular diseases and some metabolic diseases. Plus an SDMA test that can detect kidney disease in cats and dogs months or years earlier than standard screening technologies.
As a yearly test the results set a baseline for your pets wellness allowing our vets to chart your pets health levels year on year and more easily identify any deviation that might point towards an underlying health condition. In their lifetime 1 in 3 cats and 1 in 10 dogs will get some form of kidney disease. The SDMA test means our vets can pick up any sign of kidney disease at the earliest possible stage meaning a better health outcome for your pet.
