EARLY DETECTION
PROGRAM FOR
ADULT PETS
The doctors at the Animal Hospital of Orleans strongly recommend regular blood work evaluations. This
allows us to establish baseline information and catch small problems before they become bigger problems. The
entire staff at AHO performs annual bloodwork evaluations on their own pets. Consider this: 10% of pets that
appear healthy to owners and veterinarians at annual checkups are found to have hidden diseases.
The goal of our early detection program is simple. We want to keep your pet healthy and happy. It’s the
best way for you to share many rewarding years with your pet.
What does it include?
Our Early Detection Program includes the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Complete Blood Chemistry with Thyroid Test
Complete Blood Count
Urinalysis
Thyroid
Why do we want to know this information?
1. A complete blood chemistry will show us if there are any early signs of kidney and liver disease,
infection, certain types of cancer, diabetes, intestinal disorders or hypothyroidism.
2. A complete blood count will show us if there are any signs of inflammation or infection, leukemia,
poor blood clotting, or anemia. It is important to make sure that your pets’ white and red blood cell
and platelet counts are normal.
3. A urinalysis is a very important means of evaluating overall kidney function. It is also a key test for
determining if there is a urinary tract infection or inflammation in the bladder. It will also confirm if
your pet has diabetes.
When can we run these tests?
We can collect our samples at today’s visit and have results to you usually within 24 hours.
How much does the Adult Wellness Program cost?
The cost of a complete blood chemistry, complete blood count and urinalysis is *$102.00.
(Cost is over 20% off regular pricing!)
*Please note that the cost for the Early Detection Program does NOT include the cost of a comprehensive
