I believe that the first time most >US > citizens get their blood drawn is during their Military Service exam...the males, >that is! . . We have two human children, ages 12 and 14. Some blood tests were done at the hospital soon after birth. The doctor mentioned what blood type each had, which is the only reason I remember that. Both were healthy. The kids do have blood panels as part of the doctor exams every few years. The insurance company has refused prescription bills and other bills, but has never balked at blood work bills. Locally, free cholesterol checks are offered to all grade school children in either 4th or 5th grade. Back to Cavaliers... Personally, I think a baseline blood panel is a good idea. Most vets do a blood panel before spay/neuter surgery so pets often have this baseline work done.
