Diagnostic Laboratory
Pets hide disease well, baseline and diagnostic tests ensure we catch illness as soon as possible
Our animal companions cannot tell us when or where something is bothering them and many illnesses or injuries that may affect your pet simply cannot be detected on the surface of the skin. Our on-site Idexx Vetlab suite allows us to perform the majority of our laboratory testing in house for fast and accurate results. We also use Idexx reference laboratory (located in Grafton) for tests that we can’t conduct here at the hospital. We are confident the combination of in-house testing ability and outside reference laboratory services will allow us the flexibility to handle our patient needs.
