Why Laboratory Testing
Is so Important
In-house laboratory testing is a valuable tool for veterinarians. Instead of having to send samples (or even patients) to an outside facility, we can perform a wide range of tests in-house. This is more convenient, saves time, and makes testing more affordable for our clients. We strive to provide the highest level of care to our patients, and offering in-house laboratory testing is one of the many ways in which we meet that goal.

Fecal exams test for the presence of intestinal parasites such as hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. Regular fecal testing is essential to check if your pet is free from these parasites.
What can urine tests reveal about my pet’s health?
Urine tests can detect urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions.
What are pet vaccine titers, and how are they used?
Vaccine titers measure the level of antibodies in your pet’s blood to determine if they have adequate immunity from previous vaccinations. This can help decide if booster shots are needed. Titers are also required for entrance into some countries when traveling.
