Diagnostics & X-Rays

Blood tests,
urinalysis and imaging.

Blood tests, urinalysis, and imaging are essential diagnostic tools in veterinary medicine that help detect any medical ailments in your pet which can lead to proper care and treatment.

For critical cases, we can provide you with same day results for multiple diagnostics including x-rays, bloodwork, and urinalysis dependent upon your pet’s needs.

For non-critical and more comprehensive diagnostics, we use outside laboratories which can get us results for your pets in a short period of time dependent upon the test.

Importance of diagnostics for early detection.

Routine diagnostics can provide early detection of serious health issues in your pets which is crucial for management and prevention of medical conditions.


Identifying health issues early through diagnostics allows for timely intervention, often resulting in better treatment outcomes and higher survival rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of diagnostic tests might my pet need?

Dependent upon age and history, there are several types of diagnostic tests that your pet might need to ensure their health is closely monitored and any issues are detected early. For our younger and healthier pets, some routine tests consist of wellness blood screenings including heartworm testing, tick disease testing, and fecal examinations. For our older patients or those with medical illnesses, some testing may consist of comprehensive blood screenings including thyroid levels, imaging, urinalysis, fecal testing, blood pressures and/or microscopic examinations just to name a few. For our patients who need diagnostics provided by specialists, we have a cardiologist and radiologist who services our clients with echocardiograms and ultrasounds.

Preparation depends on the test—some require fasting or withholding medication, so we’ll give you clear instructions ahead of time.

Yes—X-rays are very safe; we use low radiation levels and often provide gentle sedation to keep your pet calm and still if needed.
