In emergencies this speed saves lives: with poisoning, sudden lethargy or loss of appetite, blood values show us the way.
Why an in-house lab matters
Samples sent to an external lab can take a day or two. But when a patient arrives vomiting or suddenly lethargic, treatment direction needs to be set within the first hour. We run CBC and biochemistry in-house and interpret the results with you in the same visit.
When advanced testing is needed, we manage the process with our reference laboratory partners on your behalf.
Frequently asked questions
Does my pet need to fast before blood work?
8–12 hours of fasting is ideal for a biochemistry panel — but we never delay testing in an emergency. We'll let you know when you book.
When will I get the results?
Most in-house tests are ready in 15–30 minutes, and our vet reviews them with you during the same visit.
