Importance of Pet Laboratory Testing

Pet laboratory testing, such as blood work and urinalysis, is a vital component of veterinary care. These tests give us a detailed view of your pet’s internal health, allowing us to detect issues that may not be apparent during a physical exam. Regular laboratory testing helps in the early detection of diseases, monitoring of chronic conditions, and assessing the overall health of your pet.

Our in-house laboratory allows us to quickly and accurately diagnose a wide range of conditions, guiding effective treatment plans tailored to your pet’s needs.

Common Types of Pet Laboratory Testing

  • Blood Work: Provides valuable information about your pet’s organ function, red and white blood cell counts, and overall health.
  • Urinalysis: Helps in diagnosing kidney disease, urinary tract infections, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders.
  • Fecal Testing: Detects internal parasites and gastrointestinal issues.
  • Cytology: Examines cells from your pet’s skin, ears, or other tissues to identify infections, tumors, or other conditions.
