Laboratory

Fully equipped in-house, providing quick laboratory results, including blood chemistries and cell counts in those critical cases.

​

In-House Laboratory

​

Lab work and diagnostic tests complement the physical exam to determine how your pet’s body is functioning .Our goal is early detection of a problem while it is still treatable.

​

Our facility is equipped with an in-house lab that gives us a fast diagnoses. Patients can often get blood work results back while they wait and medications can be dispensed at the time of departure.

​

Offsite Lab

​

For more extensive tests we also have strong association with an offsite laboratory. Depending on the test, the turnaround time can be a short as the same day, but most test results are back the next day. Sometimes your pet will receive multiple tests to help our medical team. Consider each test being like a part of a puzzle, where each piece is needed to complete the picture.
