Why are Pet Laboratory Services Important?

Pet laboratory services play a crucial role in maintaining your pet’s health. They allow our veterinary team to detect early signs of illness, monitor ongoing conditions, and ensure your pet is receiving the right treatments. Regular lab testing can help identify issues such as infections, kidney disease, liver problems, and more, even before symptoms become apparent.

Types of Laboratory Services

Our pet laboratory services at Countryside Animal Clinic PC include a variety of diagnostic tests to provide a clear picture of your pet’s health. Common tests we perform include:

  • Blood Tests: These help evaluate organ function, detect infections, and monitor conditions such as diabetes and anemia.
  • Urine Analysis: Urinalysis can detect urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and metabolic disorders.
  • Fecal Tests: These tests help identify internal parasites and gastrointestinal issues.
  • Cytology: This service examines cells from skin, ear, or other bodily fluids to diagnose infections or cancers.

Routine lab tests during wellness exams help track your pet’s overall health, monitor chronic conditions, and adjust treatments as needed, ensuring ongoing optimal care.

When Should Your Pet Receive Lab Testing?

Lab tests are an essential part of routine wellness exams, especially for pets over the age of seven. However, there are specific symptoms that may indicate your pet needs immediate laboratory testing, including:

  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Changes in appetite or drinking habits
  • Vomiting or diarrhea
  • Lethargy or behavioral changes

If your pet is showing any of these signs, it’s important to bring them in for an evaluation, where our laboratory services can help identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
