Laboratory Services

Veterinary laboratory services are the unsung heroes in the world of animal health care. They serve as a crucial bridge between unknown symptoms and accurate diagnoses, allowing our vets to uncover the root causes of health issues in pets. These services range from blood tests to biopsies, each offering a window into the internal workings of your beloved pet. By analyzing samples with precision and care, we can detect everything from infections and parasites to organ dysfunctions and hormonal imbalances. This not only enables prompt and targeted treatment but also opens up possibilities for early intervention, significantly improving the chances of a successful recovery. In essence, these laboratory services don't just diagnose illnesses; they provide vital information that shapes the entire course of a pet's treatment, ensuring they get the right care at the right time. Lab work can play a pivotal role in diagnosing and treating animal health issues, helping your pet live a longer, happier life.


What are Veterinary Laboratory Services?


Veterinary laboratory services encompass a range of tests that provide crucial insights into your pet's health:


  • Hematology: This involves analyzing blood cells to identify conditions like anemia, infection, or clotting disorders.
  • Biochemistry: These tests measure levels of various substances in the blood, such as electrolytes, enzymes, and proteins, providing a window into organ function.
  • Serology: Here, we detect antibodies or antigens for infectious diseases like parvovirus in dogs or feline leukemia in cats.
  • Urinalysis: This is critical for evaluating kidney health and identifying signs of infection, kidney disease, or diabetes.
  • Parasitology: It's all about identifying and managing parasites that might be affecting your pet's health, both internally and externally.


Our approach is to keep explanations simple and clear, steering clear of overly technical jargon.
