Laboratory Services

PetVets Animal Hospital offers comprehensive in-house laboratory services to support timely and accurate diagnosis for cats and dogs. Laboratory testing plays a critical role in evaluating your pet’s health, whether they are experiencing illness, managing a chronic condition, undergoing routine wellness screening, or facing an emergency situation.

Bloodwork and other diagnostic tests provide valuable information that cannot be determined through a physical exam alone. Results from laboratory analysis help our veterinarians assess organ function, identify infection or inflammation, detect parasites, and evaluate overall health. Having in-house diagnostics allows us to obtain results quickly, which can be especially important when prompt treatment decisions are needed.

Laboratory testing is not limited to sick pets. Routine diagnostic screening is recommended on a regular basis to help identify underlying conditions before symptoms become noticeable. Annual testing can help detect issues such as intestinal parasites, heartworm disease, and early changes in organ function that may otherwise go undetected.

In some cases, repeat laboratory testing maybe recommended even if bloodwork was performed recently. Rechecking values allows us to monitor trends over time, evaluate response to treatment, and adjust care plans as needed to support your pet’s ongoing health.
