Laboratory Services
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform many types of testing that can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of your pet. In most cases, our in-house laboratory equipment allows us to diagnose your pet. Our laboratory and pharmacy assistants can perform these diagnostic tests for our veterinarians while your pet is being treated on an outpatient or hospitalized basis.

Wellness testing can help catch many conditions early, before they become serious illnesses. Be sure to ask the team at Animal Medical Hospital & Urgent Care about which tests your pet may need during your pet’s next wellness exam.
