Our Services

On-Site Laboratory Services

Our in-house lab is equipped to perform vital diagnostic testing—from blood chemistry panels and urinalysis to parasite detection. These rapid tests help us evaluate organ function, hydration levels, immune responses, and clotting factors—often delivering results during your pet’s appointment. Fast turnaround allows our team to begin treatment immediately, improving both the accuracy and outcomes of your pet’s care.

Digital Radiography

Digital X-rays are a cornerstone of modern veterinary diagnostics. While they’re commonly used for assessing bones and fractures, they’re also invaluable for examining joints, organs, and soft tissue structures. Our digital imaging system produces high-resolution images instantly, minimizing retakes and exposure to radiation. Enhanced tools allow us to zoom in, measure accurately, and share results with specialists quickly when further consultation is needed.

Routine Wellness Blood Panels

Even when pets seem perfectly healthy, underlying medical conditions can be developing undetected. Annual bloodwork is a vital part of preventive care, helping us identify early-stage diseases before symptoms appear. These wellness screenings provide a baseline for your pet’s health and offer peace of mind by ensuring any internal issues are addressed proactively.

Ultrasound Diagnostics

Ultrasound offers a safe, noninvasive way to view your pet’s internal organs in real time. This imaging technique is especially useful for evaluating the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and other abdominal structures. It also enables us to assess blood flow, monitor organ dimensions, and collect fluid or tissue samples—all without the need for sedation. This makes it an essential tool for diagnosing a variety of health concerns with precision and ease.

Advanced Dental Imaging

Because many dental issues develop beneath the gum line, they often go unnoticed without imaging. Our digital dental X-ray system uses specialized intraoral technology to capture detailed views of each tooth’s roots and surrounding bone. We include dental X-rays with every cleaning, allowing us to uncover infections, resorptive lesions, bone loss, and other hidden problems. If abnormalities are found, we can promptly recommend the best course of treatment to protect your pet’s oral health.
