As in any circumstance, there are likelihood of errors, which are often occasioned by negligence or lack of knowledge of the subject. The present study aimed to demonstrate the main pre-analytical errors in veterinary medicine. The main errors reported were related to the non-use of procedure gloves, followed by failure to perform the tricotomy at the blood collection site. It was possible to verify that the veterinarians know about the best tube to be used in the clinical routine of harvesting and sending blood to the laboratory, however, there are still gaps in the club time.
