Even when they seem happy and energetic on the outside, hidden medical issues can still be present. At our clinic, we believe early detection is key. That’s why we offer comprehensive in-house laboratory testing for dogs, cats, and other pets to help identify potential health concerns before they become serious.
Some medications can be harmful to pets with underlying conditions like liver or kidney disease. Pre-treatment testing helps us ensure your pet is healthy enough to receive the correct medication safely. Even for young and seemingly healthy pets, lab tests help us build a baseline of your pet’s normal values, giving us a clearer picture of their long-term health.
Thanks to our on-site veterinary lab, we can provide fast, accurate results, often within minutes. This means quicker diagnosis, shorter hospital stays, and more immediate relief for your pet—plus peace of mind for you.
Even when your pet seems perfectly healthy, routine bloodwork can reveal hidden issues long before symptoms appear. From detecting early signs of kidney or liver disease to monitoring for infections, diabetes, or thyroid problems, blood tests are a vital part of proactive veterinary care.
Bloodwork helps us:
We offer in-house laboratory testing for your pet, which provides fast, accurate results—often the same day. This means quicker answers, reduced stress, and better outcomes for your pet.
Whether for a wellness visit, pre-surgery check, or illness, bloodwork gives us the insight we need to make confident, informed care decisions.
Advanced diagnostics help us see what your pet can’t say. We use state-of-the-art imaging technology to assess internal issues quickly and safely, guiding accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
Digital radiology provides high-quality images of your pet’s bones, heart, lungs, digestive tract, and urinary system—all with lower radiation exposure than traditional X-rays. This tool helps us detect fractures, blockages, or abnormalities, and is often used alongside other diagnostics to ensure a precise diagnosis.
Because we use digital technology, we can deliver faster results and better image clarity, helping you move forward with a treatment plan quickly.
Whether your pet is young, aging, or showing signs of illness, our advanced diagnostic tools and in-house lab allow us to act fast and treat smart. If you have any questions about our diagnostic imaging or lab services, we’re always here to walk you through what to expect and how we’ll care for your pet every step of the way.

Our team strives to make blood sampling and diagnostics like x-rays as comfortable and stress-free as possible for your pet, using gentle handling and calming techniques throughout the process.
Blood work is important for pets of all ages because it helps detect hidden health issues early and provides a baseline for monitoring their overall well-being.
X-rays allow us to see the internal structure of your pet’s body such as bones, organs, and tissues to help diagnose injuries and other medical conditions.
Whether ultrasound is better than x-rays for your pet depends on what the veterinarian needs to see. X-rays are best for looking at bones and larger or obvious changes, while ultrasounds are better for checking smaller or more detailed changes on body organs.
A urinalysis is performed by collecting a small urine sample from your pet, either during the exam or through a special collection method, which is then tested to check for signs of infection, kidney health, and other conditions.
Most diagnostic tests, like blood draws, x-rays, and ultrasounds, cause little to no pain and are done as gently as possible to keep your pet comfortable.
Yes, allergies in pets can be diagnosed through a combination of your pet’s history, physical exam, and specific tests such as skin or blood allergy tests.
The time to get your pet’s test results depends on the type of test; common tests done in-house often provide results the same day, while specialized tests sent to reference labs may take several days to come back. Your pet’s veterinarian will recommend the best option for your pet.
If your pet is nervous or aggressive during testing, our team will use gentle handling and calming techniques to keep them comfortable and safe; in some cases, sedation may be recommended to reduce stress and allow for quicker, more effective care.
Senior pets should typically have diagnostic tests done at least once a year, but if they have a chronic condition or ongoing health concern, more frequent testing may be recommended to monitor their health closely.
Whether your pet needs to fast before blood work or testing depends on the specific test being performed, so it’s best to check with the hospital ahead of time for proper instructions.
