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.
