LABORATORY

Both sick and healthy pets are prescribed tests in our hospitals and many of those tests are run on site at our in-house laboratory. An on-site lab enables quick results for tests such as routine heartworm testing, intestinal parasite testing as well as pre-surgical blood work. Quick results additionally provide our veterinarians with information necessary for making a diagnosis and treatment recommendations for ill pets more quickly than waiting for test results that need to be sent out to a laboratory. Quick turnaround time on test results can also reduce the time a pet needs treatment in the hospital, which results in less stress on the pet and reduces treatment costs for sick pets.

We also use a referral laboratory for more comprehensive blood work. We have two daily pick-ups, in order to get the results as quickly as possible.
