In-Home Blood Tests for Pets
At Your Pet’s Mobile Vet, we understand the importance of timely, accurate diagnostics. Our mobile service offers in-home blood collection for pets Adelaide-wide, without the need for a clinic visit.
Convenient and Efficient
We collect blood samples during your pet’s appointment and send them to IDEXX Laboratories, one of Australia’s leading veterinary diagnostic providers. This ensures fast turnaround times and reliable, high-quality results.
Whether your pet is unwell or you’re managing a long-term condition, blood tests help us:
Excessive scratching, licking, or biting
-
Detect underlying issues before symptoms appear
-
Monitor ongoing health conditions such as kidney disease liver problems, diabetes, or thyroid disorders
-
Check organ function prior to procedures or medication
-
Track response to treatment over time
What Can We Test For?
Some of the most common blood tests we request include:
Complete Blood Count (CBC): Assesses red and white blood cells, detecting infections, anaemia or inflammation
Thyroid Function (T4): Especially useful in older cats and dogs
Monitoring Panels: For pets on medications such as anti-epileptics, corticosteroids or anti-inflammatories
Biochemistry Profile: Evaluates organ health (liver, kidney, pancreas), blood sugar, and electrolytes
SDMA: An early marker for kidney disease
If needed, we can also request more specialised tests, such as hormone panels or infectious disease screening.
Calm Care in Familiar Surroundings
Many pets experience anxiety in a clinic setting. With our mobile service, blood tests are done where your pet feels safest—at home. We take a gentle, patient approach to every appointment and use minimal restraint where possible.
When Should My Pet Have Blood Tests?
Routine testing is recommended:
Before starting new medications
During senior wellness checks (typically for pets 7 years and older)
Prior to anaesthesia or surgery
If your pet shows signs of illness such as lethargy, weight loss, vomiting, or changes in thirst or appetite
When managing a chronic illness
