🐾 New at Our Clinic: SDMA Testing for Cats & Dogs! 🐶🐱
We are now offering SDMA (Symmetric Dimethylarginine) testing — an advanced blood test that helps detect early kidney disease in pets.

🐾 Why Test SDMA in Cats and Dogs?
Symmetric Dimethylarginine Test (SDMA) is an important blood test used to detect kidney disease earlier than many traditional tests.
1️⃣ Detects Kidney Disease Earlier
SDMA can increase when about 25–40% of kidney function is lost, while creatinine usually rises only after ~75% of kidney function is lost.
➡️ This allows earlier diagnosis and treatment.

2️⃣ More Accurate for Kidney Function
SDMA is less affected by muscle mass compared with creatinine.
This is important for:
• Thin or elderly pets
• Pets with muscle loss
• Cats with chronic disease

3️⃣ Helps Monitor Kidney Health
Veterinarians use SDMA to:
• Monitor chronic kidney disease progression
• Evaluate treatment response
• Adjust diet and medications

4️⃣ Early Treatment Improves Outcomes
When kidney disease is detected early, veterinarians can start:
• Renal diet
• Hydration management
• Supportive medications
This can slow disease progression and improve quality of life.

5️⃣ Recommended for Routine Screening
SDMA is often recommended for:
• Senior pets (usually 7 years and older)
• Pets with weight loss or increased drinking/urination
• Routine wellness blood screening

Kidney disease is common in small animals, especially as they age. Early detection can make a big difference in your pet’s quality of life.
