When should my cat get bloodwork for dental anesthesia, same day or before?

Question

Hi there! My kitty has a dental coming up on wed and I'm wondering if I should take her in for anesthetic bloodwork before the day of or if it's okay to do it right before on the same day . Is there any health risk to drawing blood before anesthesia /dental surgery ? thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 9 years and 3 months old | 9 lbs

It's definitely recommended to have a blood work done at her age before any procedure that requires anesthesia, it's absolutely fine to have it done the same day. the amount of blood drawn for the blood test is absolutely insignificant.
