In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Senior panels typically include a Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Chemistry Panel, Thyroid (T4) level, and Urinalysis. These tests screen for kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, anemia, infection, and other conditions common in aging pets. Dogs are generally considered senior at 7 years (or 5-6 for giant breeds), and cats at 10-11 years. Semi-annual senior exams with labwork can detect diseases months or years before clinical signs appear, when treatment is most effective. Early detection of kidney disease in cats, for example, allows dietary and medical management that can significantly extend life.
