Senior Exams – Lab Testing

Veterinarians depend on a series of Lab tests to help them understand the complete status of your pet’s health.  When a pet is healthy, laboratory tests provide a means to determine his/her “baseline” health values.  When your pet is sick, your vet can then compare the current test results to the “baseline” values to see if they are abnormal.  Even subtle changes in lab test results, even in an outwardly healthy animal, may signal the presence of an underlying disease. 

The AAHA recommends that middle aged dogs and cats undergo laboratory testing at least once a year.  During the senior years, they are recommended every six months for healthy animals. 

When searching for the perfect Dog Urn, make sure it matches your dog’s personality and has a tribute from the heart.  There are many with poems, photos and even laser etched portrait urns available for pets.
