At Eagle Animal Hospital, bloodwork is an essential part of how we monitor, diagnose, and protect your pet’s health. These simple tests provide valuable information about how your pet’s organs are functioning and can often detect illness before symptoms become visible.
When we need quick answers, we offer comprehensive in-house blood testing. This allows us to quickly evaluate key health markers such as red and white blood cell counts, kidney and liver function, blood sugar levels, and electrolyte balance. This rapid turnaround helps us make timely decisions, whether your pet is sick, undergoing surgery, or simply here for routine wellness care.
Bloodwork plays an important role at every stage of your pet’s life. For adult pets (ages 1-6), we recommend wellness bloodwork once a year to establish baselines and catch early changes. For senior pets (ages 7 and older), bloodwork may be recommended every six months, as health changes can occur more quickly with age. Regular testing helps us identify concerns early and keep your pet feeling their best.
Your pet’s comfort is always our priority. Blood samples are collected gently and efficiently by our trained technicians, minimizing stress for your pet. Doctors typically receive bloodwork results by the following day, and will call to review the findings with you, explain what they mean, and discuss any next steps if needed.
At Eagle Animal Hospital, we believe proactive care leads to healthier, happier pets and bloodwork is one of the most powerful tools we have to achieve that.
