Cost of TLI and B12 blood tests?
I'm wondering what the average fees in the US are for the TLI, B12 and folate blood tests. If anyone has had the blood tests recently would you share what you paid for the blood tests? I am taking my dog to a new holistic vet and the fee for the blood tests they quoted is $350.00. It is quite a bit higher than what I have seen in recent posts from google searches.
Ann here mom of Molly a 5.5yr old Tibetan Terrier. A friend suggested Molly might have EPI. Approx a month ago I did the home test she tested positive. I have a vet appointment this week to do more in depth tests. For approx 30 days I have been giving her Enzyme Diane's 6x enzymes....her daily meal supplement regime is 1/2 tsp enzymes I let them sit approx 20-30 mins in her morning meal of raw meat or eggs and veggies and a calcium/mineral/vitamin supplement. I have been giving her 1/4 tsp slippery elm, probiotics and 1/4-1/2 tsp psylium powder.

Hi - I just replied on your other topic thread - I think it depends on your vet - I've seen a lot of varying prices over the years but the average seems to be around $250.
Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.

Our test on Kolby was done 9 years ago and was $160 for cTLI, B12, and Folate. But I do not know what it would cost today. It depends on your vet and where you are located.
