I'm not sure there is one perfect answer for blood/urine testing but I do it yearly. Two years between is way too long, imo. Dogs age quickly and hide symptoms well. It's only a $17 add on to do blood here with HW testing. If there is a concern we do a bigger panel. I usually do yearly fecals too. We do dentals as needed.
Here cysto to ull pee is usually u/s guided (and free). So we getbfree stone checks whenever pee is taken. |
ZoE (2 yrs old), has had a BAT & two blood panels (at 6months & 1yr 2mths), but she's never had a urinalysis....but now I know to ask for one.
I'm sure this is a silly question....am I supposed to take in a urine sample like a do a poop sample, or is this something the vet draws from her?
