Discover more with the IDEXX Preventive Care Profile

With the most complete and advanced menu of tests on your IDEXX Preventive Care Profile, your team can uncover more underlying disease in seemingly healthy patients. Gain deeper insight on your patients with these tests: 

  • IDEXX SDMA Test—What are pets’ kidneys telling you about their health? Listen closer with the IDEXX SDMA Test. SDMA is a sensitive indicator of kidney function that detects diseases of the kidney sooner and reflects other disease processes affecting the kidneys.1–3 
  • IDEXX CBC testing—Complete blood counts (CBCs) performed at IDEXX Reference Laboratories are the most comprehensive CBCs available. Only IDEXX automatically includes reticulocyte count and reticulocyte hemoglobin on all canine and feline CBCs.
  • Fecal Dx antigen testing—Detect more intestinal parasite infections, earlier than fecal flotation. A single test finds hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms, even when eggs are not present.4
  • IDEXX 4Dx Plus Test—The IDEXX 4Dx Plus Test is a standard for accurate detection of heartworm and tick-borne disease. Peer-reviewed studies support that the IDEXX 4Dx Plus Test is the most accurate screening test available.5–7
