In-House Laboratory
For your convenience, we offer a complete in-house laboratory. Being able to evaluate and diagnose your pets condition on the spot can be invaluable to your pets well being.
Before your pet’s same day surgery, being able to provide bloodwork on vital body components is mandatory in providing a safe anesthesia.
Or for emergencies, stat blood analysis can mean the difference in saving your pets life. Or the convenience in not having to wait for the “next” day to find out what is wrong with your companion. Laboratory services include complete blood counts, chemistry for vital organs, urinalysis, heartworm, electrolytes, cytology, and some endocrinology.
We also utilize an outside laboratory for certain specialized diagnostic testing and consultation.
Happy Birthday to Buoy! Thank you so much for the sloppy kiss card. Buoy will be 3 on January 26 and we can hardly believe it ourselves. It seems like just yesterday he was running around chewing up 3 pair of prescription glasses!! Thank you again. You are the best veterinary practice I have ever had for my pet. Wish I could clone the whole practice! Cyndee Hill — Buoy's Family
