Preventative lab work-like blood tests, urinalysis, and fecal exams-is the hidden hero of your pet's wellness. While vaccines get the spotlight, these simple, routine screenings, done even when your pet seems healthy, are vital for early disease detection. They establish a baseline of normal health, allowing your vet to catch silent chronic conditions like kidney disease, liver issues, or diabetes before they become serious problems.
