Comprehensive Services Offered in Our Pet In-House Laboratory
Our in-house lab provides a variety of diagnostic tests to assess different aspects of your pet’s health. Whether your pet needs routine screening or urgent testing, our services offer valuable insights. Available tests include:
- Blood Testing: Evaluates organ function, detects infections, and identifies metabolic disorders. Regular bloodwork helps track ongoing health concerns, while specific tests can diagnose conditions like diabetes, anemia, and kidney or liver disease.
- Urinalysis: Assesses kidney function, detects urinary tract infections, and screens for metabolic conditions. Combined with blood testing, urinalysis offers a more complete understanding of your pet’s overall health.
- Fecal Analysis: Identifies intestinal parasites, including roundworms, hookworms, and giardia. Early detection helps prevent digestive issues and protects both pets and their families from potential health risks.
- Heartworm Testing: Detects heartworm disease, a serious condition transmitted by mosquitoes. Early detection is essential for effective treatment and prevention strategies to keep pets safe.
