What On-Site Diagnostics Include

In-house diagnostics allow many important tests to be performed directly within the hospital instead of sending samples elsewhere. This can support faster results, quicker treatment decisions, and more efficient care.

Common Tests We Perform

Diagnostic services may include bloodwork, chemistry panels, urinalysis, fecal testing, and screening for infections and illness. These tools help detect many conditions that may not be visible during a physical exam alone.

Why Fast Testing Matters

Timely diagnostics can be helpful during both preventive and urgent care visits. Whether your pet has vomiting, diarrhea, appetite changes, lethargy, or is preparing for surgery, accurate testing helps guide next steps.

Connected Care for Better Answers

Depending on your pet’s needs, diagnostics may be used alongside digital X-rays for pets, pet ultrasound, and pet wellness exams.

Areas We Serve

We proudly care for pets in East Boston, Revere, Winthrop, Chelsea, and surrounding Greater Boston communities.
