Whether your pet is showing symptoms or you’re simply staying proactive about their health, our advanced diagnostic capabilities—including bloodwork, urinalysis, radiology, and ultrasound—enable our veterinarians to detect conditions early and tailor treatments to your pet’s exact needs.
With real-time results from our in-house lab, we eliminate the wait, reduce stress, and get your pet on the path to better health—faster.
Our In-House Lab Services
Our on-site diagnostic lab allows us to run a wide range of tests with same-day results. This is especially valuable in urgent situations when every moment counts.
Services include:
Bloodwork (CBC, Chemistry Panels)
Detects infections, organ function, anemia, and more
Urinalysis
Helps identify urinary tract infections, kidney issues, and diabetes indicators
Fecal Exams
Screens for intestinal parasites
Cytology & Skin Scrapes
Assesses lumps, rashes, or ear infections
Pre-Anesthetic Screening
Ensures your pet is healthy enough for surgery or dental care
By having a full diagnostic lab on-site, we can diagnose and monitor chronic conditions, evaluate illness symptoms, and ensure that routine wellness checks are thorough and complete.
Imaging Services: Radiology & Ultrasound
Not all conditions can be diagnosed through lab testing alone. That’s where imaging comes in. Our non-invasive radiology and ultrasound services allow us to see inside your pet’s body—without surgery.
Digital Radiology (X-Rays):
- Detects fractures, arthritis, tumors, and internal injuries
- Evaluates the heart, lungs, bones, and abdominal organs
- Safe, fast, and low-dose technology
Ultrasound:
- Visualizes organs in real-time using sound waves
- Useful for diagnosing soft tissue issues, fluid buildup, and pregnancy
- Painless, non-invasive, and does not require anesthesia
With both X-ray and ultrasound on-site, we can make immediate, well-informed decisions about your pet’s care—especially in urgent or complex cases.
Why Diagnostics Matter
Your pet can’t tell you when something’s wrong. That’s why diagnostics are one of the most powerful tools in veterinary medicine. From detecting infections and metabolic issues to identifying hidden injuries and chronic disease, diagnostics give us the clarity we need to act confidently and quickly.
Undiagnosed conditions can lead to:
- Delayed treatment and worsening symptoms
- Unnecessary pain and discomfort for your pet
- Higher costs from emergency or advanced care down the line
Regular diagnostic testing—especially during wellness exams or when symptoms arise—helps your pet live a longer, more comfortable life.
Benefits of In-House Diagnostics
- Faster diagnosis and treatment planning
- More accurate health monitoring over time
- Early detection of chronic or hidden conditions
- Improved outcomes through timely intervention
- Peace of mind for pet owners
