Why Diagnostics Matter
Early detection and accurate diagnosis allow for more effective treatment and better outcomes. Whether addressing a sudden illness, managing a chronic condition, or performing preventative screening, our diagnostic services provide the insights needed for informed decisions about your pet’s care.
Our Diagnostic Capabilities
We offer a broad range of diagnostic services tailored to support wellness, illness detection, and complex care:

What to Expect When You Bring Your Pet In
- Initial Exam & History: A thorough physical exam and detailed history, including any symptoms, changes in behavior, appetite, or activity.
- Diagnostic Plan: Based on findings, our veterinarians recommend appropriate diagnostics—whether a single test (e.g., X-ray) or a combination of tests (labs + imaging).
- Interpretation & Recommendations: Once results are available, we explain what they mean, discuss possible diagnoses, and provide treatment or monitoring plans.
- Follow-Up & Monitoring: Depending on findings, we may recommend follow-up diagnostics and/or progress exam to track your pet’s condition over time.
