Why Pet Lab Testing Is Important
Diagnostic testing plays a key role in preventive and emergency veterinary medicine. Routine screening can detect:
Early signs of organ disease (liver, kidneys, pancreas)
Infections and immune disorders
Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances
Parasites or bacterial overgrowth
Abnormal blood cells or clotting issues
Early detection often leads to better treatment outcomes and less invasive care. Delayed diagnostics, on the other hand, can result in disease progression and increased risk for complications.

How much stool should I bring in for my pet’s fecal test?
Fecal testing requires very little material, and we need only a sample about the size of a sugar cube. For the most reliable results, we ask that the sample be less than 24 hours old and that it be free of grass, dirt, or other contaminants.
How long does it take to get results?
Many tests are completed in-house the same day. Referral lab results typically take 1–3 business days.
