Pre-Anesthetic Screening & Routine Health Checks
Before any surgery or dental procedure, our trained and experienced team performs thorough pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. Thanks to these comprehensive health screenings, we apply anesthesia only when we can confirm an absolute minimum level of risk. We know many pet parents are concerned about anesthesia, and our lab helps ensure we use it only when it is best for your pet.
We also use our lab for routine wellness care to track internal health and detect issues like kidney disease, liver dysfunction, or diabetes—often before symptoms arise.
Imaging and Treatment Integration
Because our lab results are available in-house, we can quickly coordinate with other diagnostic tools like digital X-rays or ultrasound for a comprehensive view of your pet’s health. This seamless integration allows us to begin treatment sooner and tailor it to your pet’s unique needs.
Expert Support & Follow-Up
For advanced diagnostics or confirmation testing, we may send samples to trusted outside reference labs. We always communicate clearly with you about results, next steps, and what it means for your pet’s care plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my pet need to fast before blood testing?
It depends on the test. We’ll let you know in advance if fasting is necessary. For most routine wellness panels, fasting improves the accuracy of results.
Will I get the results right away?
Yes—many test results are available the same day, often within 30 minutes. We’ll explain the findings and next steps clearly during your visit.
Is bloodwork really needed if my pet seems healthy?
Yes. While it’s not mandatory for every procedure, oftentimes preventive bloodwork helps catch silent problems early and gives us a baseline to monitor your pet’s health as they age.
