Our hospital has an in-house laboratory to provide you with diagnostic laboratory test results quickly and efficiently.

We offer a wide range of in-house testing and utilize commercial veterinary laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultation services to address your pet’s complete health care needs.

The most common types of testing offered include:

  • Heartworm Testing: This important test requires a small blood sample and works by detecting the presence of heartworm proteins.
  • Stool Analysis: Analyzing your pet’s stool can identify the presence of parasites, organisms, and bacteria.
  • Urine Analysis: This analysis provides information about your pet’s urinary tract and kidney function.
  • Feline Leukemia (FELV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV): These diseases can be diagnosed by conducting a simple blood sample, which identifies FELV proteins in the blood and looks for the presence of FIV antibodies.
