Benefits of Our In-House Laboratory

Having a lab on premises means we can rapidly test and treat illnesses and other conditions.

It even allows us to easily monitor pets with chronic conditions and immediately adjust treatments in response to changes.

We collect blood, stool, and urine samples for analysis in our full in-house laboratory. It allows us to perform hematology (complete blood count or CBC), blood chemistry, cardiac enzymes, urinalysis, and more. We can even examine cells under a microscope (cytology) for biopsy analyses.
