Pancreatic Health
Quickly and confidently assess pancreatic health in dogs and cats
Pancreatitis is a difficult disease to diagnose because history, physical examination and routine laboratory findings are often nonspecific.
The Spec cPL Test for dogs and the Spec fPL Test for cats measure the level of pancreas-specific lipase in the blood to help you make a confident diagnosis.
