Why older dogs need bloodwork even when they seem healthy 🫶
1. They hide it. Dogs are wired not to show weakness.
2. Organs change quietly. Kidneys, liver, and thyroid often shift before appetite, energy, or thirst do.
3. Trends beat single numbers. Last year’s “normal” vs this year’s “still normal but drifting” is where we catch things early.
4. Urinalysis belongs with the bloodwork. It finds kidney and urinary issues bloodwork alone can miss.
5. Early = more options. Diet, meds, and monitoring work better before a crisis.
The vet can tailor the exact timing to your dog’s age, breed, and history! And we are currently running a $50 off bloodwork promotion 😊
