As the number of pets kept increases, more and more pet owners are taking their pets' health seriously. Biochemical testing is the most common health screening tool for pets. But when do pets need biochemical testing?

Biochemical testing refers to the determination of the normal function of systems and organs by the levels of enzymes, proteins, lipids and other metabolites in the pet's blood. Pets usually need biochemical testing in the following situations.

When Do Pets Need Biochemical Tests

1. physical examination

Unlike people, pets do not express themselves in words and have a high tolerance for pain, so they can easily hide diseases such as chronic nephritis and heart disease. By the time specific symptoms are detected, the disease has already progressed to the middle and late stages. The price of treating these chronic diseases can be more than ten or even dozens of times the price of a medical examination. The regular biochemical tests can help pet owners better understand the indicators of their pets' bodies.

2. Before surgery

Surgical treatment can put pets at higher risk. Biochemical testing can help veterinarians better understand the normal function of the liver, kidneys and other organs of the pet, so as to better reduce the risk of surgery.

3. Detecting disease

When veterinarians suspect a problem with the heart, liver, kidneys or pancreas, biochemical testing is needed to evaluate the pet. Biochemical tests are also needed to confirm the recovery of the pet during the treatment process.

Seamaty has been working for 10 years to create a portable POC veterinary biochemistry analyzer, the SMT120VP, which comes with 20+ reagent trays containing a wide range of biochemical and immunological tests.
