Increased liver enzyme activities are common in dogs. Serum biochemistry testing conducted on 1022 samples from dogs showed that 39.1% and 17.4% had increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activi-ties, respectively.1 Although liver enzyme activity increases are highly sensitive bio-
