🔬 Why Lab Tests Are Critical for Pet Health

• Pets can’t say, “I don’t feel well.”
• They hide pain instinctively — it's a survival trait.
• By the time you see symptoms, internal issues may be advanced.

Bloodwork and urinalysis act like an internal camera — giving us a snapshot of your pet’s health before things spiral.

🧪 What Common Pet Blood Tests Reveal

• CBC (Complete Blood Count): Detects anemia, infection, inflammation, and blood clot issues
• Blood Chemistry Panel: Checks liver, kidney, pancreas, and electrolyte function
• Thyroid Test (T4): Identifies thyroid disease, especially in older cats or dogs
• Glucose: Screens for diabetes or stress responses
• Urinalysis: Reveals infections, dehydration, kidney stones, and early kidney damage

We combine test results with a physical exam to make accurate, early diagnoses.

📆 When Should You Get Lab Tests for Your Pet?

• Before anesthesia or surgery
• When your pet is acting “off” (low energy, vomiting, weight loss, etc.)
• During annual wellness exams (especially for seniors)
• To monitor chronic conditions like kidney or liver disease

Routine bloodwork can catch silent killers before they strike.

💉 Is It Safe and Painful?

Lab tests are quick, safe, and nearly painless. Our trained staff gently draws a small sample, usually from a front leg or neck vein, and sends it to our in-house or partnered lab.

Results often return within 1–2 days — faster if urgent.
