Preop testing just checks to make sure everything is functioning properly.
If there is something wrong with the liver, kidneys, heart, etc. the surgery may be postponed or the anesthetic protocol altered.

A blood panel and CBC should be done.
Beyond that there are other things that are a good idea but rarely done like urinalysis, EKG and bile acids testing in Yorkies.
