Blood & Lab Tests

Knowing when your pet is unwell is one of the most challenging parts of pet care. Annual blood and lab tests help determine a normal baseline for your pet's health. Monitoring these results over time allows us to diagnose problems early, increasing the likelihood of timely intervention and recovery so your pet can live their best life.

Veterinary Radiology (X-rays)

Using radiography, we are able to produce high-quality diagnostic images of your pet’s tissues, organs, and bones. X-rays help us look for arthritis, broken bones, foreign objects, dental issues, enlarged organs, or respiratory dysfunction.

Ultrasound

Using sound waves, a vet ultrasound generates images of the inside of your pet's body, such as muscles, tendons, joints, organs, and blood vessels. Ultrasound images are often ordered by your vet alongside x-rays, to get a more complete picture of your pet’s health.

Tonometry

Tonometry is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the pressure inside your pet’s eyes. Increased pressure in your pet’s eyes can be dangerous and can lead to diseases like glaucoma and uveitis. Tonometry is an easy way to check the pressure of your pet's eyes without having to sedate them.

Electrocardiogram (EKG)

An EKG is a gentle test we use to listen to what's happening in your pet's heart. It can spot if their heart is too big, if there's a murmur, signs of heart failure, or if the beat is off rhythm. We also check with an EKG before any surgery to make sure their heart can handle the anesthesia. It's completely painless—your pet won't feel a thing! This test is a crucial step in making sure we take the best care of your pet's heart.

Endoscopy

Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that lets us take a peek inside your pet's body without any major surgery. It's like a tiny camera journey through their esophagus, stomach, intestines, or even lungs, helping us spot and sometimes even fix problems like swallowed objects, or understand symptoms like vomiting or weight loss. It's quick, painless for your pet, and gives us immediate insights to help them feel better fast.
