You might think bloodwork🩸is only for sick pets, but routine blood tests are one of the best ways to catch health issues early.

At Northwest Animal Hospital, we use bloodwork to screen for conditions like:
• Kidney and liver disease
• Diabetes
• Thyroid imbalances
• Infections or anemia

Early detection means we can start treatment before symptoms become severe, which often results in better outcomes and lower costs. Annual testing also helps track your pet’s health over time, giving us valuable insight into any changes.

💡 Senior Pet Alert: Older pets are more prone to chronic conditions, making regular bloodwork even more essential.
