Reading Your Dog's Bloodwork With Your Vet

Decoding Your Dog's Bloodwork: What Those Vet Numbers Really Mean with a bloodwork report and a corgi dog.

A page of abbreviations from the vet can be confusing. Only your veterinarian can interpret your dog's results, but here is how to prepare.

What bloodwork may check

Bloodwork often looks at blood cells, organ values, and other markers. Your vet decides which tests make sense.

Questions to ask your vet

  • What do the results mean for my dog?
  • Are any values outside the expected range?
  • Do we need to repeat any tests?
  • Should anything about food or treats change?
  • When should we recheck?

Bring information

  • Your dog's medications and supplements
  • Current food and treats
  • Any changes in appetite, thirst, or energy

Do not diagnose from numbers online. If something looks unusual, call your vet.
