In House Laboratory

Early detection of disease is the first step to a potential cure…therefore, we recommend annual blood work on the majority of our patients.

We have a full on-site laboratory that allows us to utilize tests and equipment to better care for your pet. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of service and care, and our on-site laboratory is one way we achieve that goal.  For example, diagnostic testing can detect Addison’s disease, infections, feline leukemia, thyroid disease, and many additional diseases and conditions that can go unnoticed in their early stages. Blood testing can show early evidence of diabetes, changes in liver or kidney function, or simply provide a baseline for future reference.

Diagnostic laboratory testing is also completed prior to dental or surgical procedures that require general anesthesia.

Laboratory testing provides information about your pet’s overall systemic health without the need for invasive and expensive procedures. Thanks to Blue Valley Animal Hospital’s in-house diagnostic laboratory, we are able to deliver your pet’s test results quickly, often within a few minutes—minimizing the time you need to wait for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
