Advanced Insight into Your Pet’s Health
Diagnostic testing allows our veterinarian to look beyond visible symptoms and better understand what’s happening inside your pet’s body. At Companion Veterinary Hospital, we offer a range of in-house diagnostic services so results can be reviewed quickly and used to guide timely care decisions.
In-House Laboratory Testing
Our clinic offers comprehensive lab services, including bloodwork (CBC and chemistry panels), cytology, urinalysis, and fecal testing. These tools help us evaluate organ function, detect infections, and monitor your pet’s overall health.
Digital Imaging
Digital X-rays allow our veterinarian to evaluate bones, internal structures, and areas of concern to help diagnose injuries and disease. We also use ultrasound imaging to assess soft tissue and internal organs in real time, providing additional detail when needed for a more complete diagnosis.
When Diagnostic Testing Is Recommended
Testing helps identify illness and monitor your pet’s health over time.
Diagnostic testing is often recommended when pets show signs of illness, during routine wellness exams, or to monitor ongoing conditions. Our veterinarian uses these tools to gather clear answers, reduce guesswork, and provide straightforward recommendations for your pet’s care.
Identifying Health Concerns
Testing helps detect issues such as infections, organ changes, parasites, or underlying disease when pets show symptoms like low energy, appetite changes, or unusual behavior.
Ongoing Health Monitoring
Diagnostic tests are also used to track chronic conditions, evaluate treatment progress, and support preventive care through routine screenings and senior pet health evaluations.
