Diagnostics

We have state-of-the-art diagnostic tools that allow our team to diagnose your pet’s condition or illness with greater accuracy and efficiency. We recommend various blood tests at all stages of health to aid in the early detection of internal abnormalities such as kidney and liver disease.

​

To provide the most precise results possible, we partner with leading veterinary institutions - including Texas A&M, Michigan State University, the University of Illinois, and North Carolina State University - by sending select laboratory diagnostics to their advanced facilities for specialized testing and analysis.

​

Urinalysis - Urinalysis is a routine test that provides information about how well the kidneys are working and identifies inflammation and infection in the urinary system. It can also help to detect diabetes and can be useful in the diagnosis of cancer within the urinary system.

​

Thyroid Testing - The thyroid gland acts like a thermostat and sets the metabolic rate of the whole body. This test is useful in detecting thyroid abnormalities.

​

Cytologies - Cytology is the microscopic examination of cells that have been collected from the body. It is most often used to diagnose the nature of 'lumps and bumps' found on the surface of the body.

​

Heartworm Testing - Heartworm disease is usually diagnosed with a simple blood test. Dogs become infected when they are bitten by an infected mosquito that is carrying immature, infective heartworm larvae.

​

Fecal Testing – Fecal exams help detect intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, and giardia, which can impact your pet’s health and may be transmissible to humans. Regular testing is an important part of preventive care.

​

Senior Blood Panel – Recommended annually for pets over 7 years of age, this panel includes a blood chemistry, complete blood count, heartworm test, and urinalysis. It provides a comprehensive overview of organ function and helps detect early signs of age-related health issues.
