Prepare for the Test

1.Select the test site
There are many sites to obtain capillary blood samples from
your pets: the marginal ear vein in both cats and dogs; paw
pads in cats and dogs; leg callus in dogs; inner or outer lip
for dogs only.
Warming the area will help increase blood flow. This can be
done by:
Gently rubbing the test site or
Applying a warm (not hot) cloth to the test site. If using a
wet cloth, place the cloth inside a plastic bag to avoid
diluting the blood sample.
