When do you need lab tests?
Common situations where our laboratory makes all the difference
Vomiting or diarrhea
A blood panel reveals dehydration, infection or organ involvement, allowing us to treat rapidly and effectively.
Unexplained weight loss
Tests check thyroid, kidney, and liver function, and detect diabetes or other metabolic diseases.
Before surgery
Before any procedure, we verify that the kidneys and liver can safely metabolize anesthesia.
Annual health screening
For pets aged 7 and older, annual blood work detects disease before visible symptoms appear.
Learn about annual examsIncreased thirst
Excessive drinking can indicate diabetes, kidney disease, or a hormonal problem. Tests give us the answer quickly.
Lethargy or weakness
A less active pet may be suffering from anemia, infection, or organ disease. Tests reveal the underlying cause.

Why an in-house laboratory is essential
Speed
Results in 15 minutes, diagnosis confirmed, treatment started during the same visit. In urgent situations, every hour matters.
Fresh sample accuracy
Fresh samples produce more reliable results. Samples don't degrade in transit, which reduces false readings.
Early detection
Kidney failure, diabetes, liver disease; tests reveal these conditions before symptoms appear.
Real-time monitoring
For a pet on treatment, we verify effectiveness at the next visit and adjust immediately if needed.
Your pet deserves fast, precise care
