Janine Same here also - the vets would look at me as if I was slightly mad to want blood tests done routinely. I'm not even sure that they would agree to do them but if I insisted they would no doubt rub their hands with glee at the fairly large sum that they would get in extra revenue. The last time I had blood screening done on a sick bitch must be about 5 or 6 years ago and at that time it cost about �30 pounds for a routine screening
