What Lab Tests Can Reveal About Your Pet's Health
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform a wide range of tests that provide valuable insights into your pet’s health. With fast results and expert interpretation, we can diagnose conditions early, monitor ongoing issues, and tailor treatment plans with precision.
When Is Lab Work Necessary for Pets?
We recommend diagnostic testing as a routine part of wellness care, but it's also essential when your pet is showing signs that something might be off. Lab work can help us identify subtle changes or provide clarity when symptoms don’t tell the whole story. Pets benefit from diagnostic testing in the following scenarios:
- During annual wellness exams to establish a healthy baseline
- Before surgery or dental procedures to ensure your pet can safely undergo anesthesia
- For senior pets (age 7+) to detect age-related changes and chronic disease
- When your pet seems “off” and may be showing low energy, vomiting, diarrhea, appetite changes, or increased drinking and urination
- To monitor ongoing conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or thyroid issues
- After exposure to parasites or ticks, or if you’ve noticed worms or changes in bowel habits
