As our pets age, routine wellness testing becomes even more important. While many health conditions can be detected through regular bloodwork, some cancers may develop without obvious signs while in the early stages.
At Lorena Veterinary Center, we can ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ ๐๐ฑโข screening into senior wellness testing for dogs who may be at increased risk due to age or breed. This blood test helps identify biomarkers associated with certain canine cancers, including lymphoma and mast cell tumors, as part of a comprehensive preventive care plan. Research shows cancer is a leading cause of death in dogs, and risk increases with age. The Cancer Dx Panel is designed to screen apparently healthy, at-risk dogs during routine wellness visits.
Cancer screening may be especially worth discussing if your dog is:
โข A senior dog (typically 7 years and older)
โข A breed with a higher risk for certain cancers, such as Golden Retrievers, Boxers,
Rottweilers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Labrador Retrievers, Dobermans, and others
Early detection can provide more information sooner, helping guide the next steps in your pet's care.
If your dog is due for a wellness exam or belongs to a breed with known cancer predispositions, talk with our team about whether cancer screening should be part of their preventive health plan.
