Why Laboratory Testing Is Essential in Veterinary Care
Pets can’t tell us when something feels off, which is why laboratory testing plays such a crucial role in veterinary medicine. Many illnesses show no obvious signs in the early stages. Bloodwork, urinalysis, and other lab tests allow us to detect potential problems before they become serious—helping us intervene early and improve outcomes.
Routine and diagnostic lab testing can help identify:
- Infections, parasites, or anemia
- Organ dysfunction (liver, kidney, thyroid, pancreas)
- Inflammatory diseases and immune conditions
- Signs of cancer or other chronic diseases
- Blood glucose levels and electrolyte imbalances
These insights help guide personalized treatment plans and ensure your pet gets the care they need—when they need it.
What to Expect from Veterinary Laboratory Testing
Our on-site diagnostic laboratory is equipped with the latest veterinary testing equipment, allowing us to provide same-day results for many common tests. Here are some of the most frequently performed lab services at our clinic:
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
A CBC measures red and white blood cells, helping detect infections, inflammation, and anemia.
Blood Chemistry Panel
This test evaluates organ function, electrolyte levels, and metabolic conditions, such as diabetes or kidney disease.
Urinalysis
Urine testing helps us detect urinary tract infections, kidney issues, dehydration, or diabetes.
Fecal Testing
We screen stool samples for intestinal parasites like hookworms, roundworms, and Giardia. These are especially important for puppies, kittens, and outdoor pets.
Cytology and Skin Scrapings
These tests allow us to examine cells from lumps, ears, or skin to diagnose infections, allergies, or tumors.
If your pet requires more advanced testing, such as endocrine or infectious disease panels, we partner with trusted external veterinary laboratories for fast turnaround and detailed reports.
When Does Your Pet Need Lab Work?
- During annual wellness exams to establish a health baseline
- Before surgery or dental cleanings (pre-anesthetic screening)
- If your pet shows signs of illness or injury
- To monitor ongoing conditions such as kidney disease, thyroid disorders, or diabetes
- For senior pets to catch age-related issues early
Regular lab testing is one of the best ways to detect hidden issues and extend your pet’s healthy years.
