Pet diagnostics

Diagnostics turn a hunch into information. We recommend tests when the result will change what we do, and we explain what each one is looking for.

Appointment requests are confirmed by our team.

Questions

Common questions

Are results available immediately?
Some are, some are not. Tests sent to an external laboratory take longer, and we will tell you what to expect at the visit.
Does my pet need sedation for imaging?
Sometimes. It depends on the images needed and how comfortable your pet is; we discuss it beforehand.
