Our vet also requires the basic blood testing before any procedure requiring anesthesia. Muffin had it done before her teeth extractions & also when she underwent her mastectomy last month. The cost was $30 & was done right before the procedure. When she had her surgery in December, we had them perform her annual physical exam. The heartworm test was an additional charge of $25, so evidently the bloodwork results do not give them the heartworm information they need. At least not at our vet!
