When your pet is unwell, every minute counts. At Northeast Animal Hospital, we utilize state-of-the-art in-house diagnostic laboratory services to get the answers you need, when you need them. Our commitment to high-quality medicine means providing our veterinary team with immediate access to accurate data, allowing us to begin life-saving treatments without the wait.
Laboratory testing is a vital window into your pet’s internal health. While a physical exam is essential, blood work, urinalysis, and fecal screenings allow us to detect issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
To check for anemia, infection, and inflammation.
To evaluate liver, kidney, and pancreatic function.
Crucial for monitoring dehydration and metabolic health.
Essential for detecting urinary tract infections (UTI), kidney disease, and early signs of diabetes.
Whether your pet is a playful kitten or a beloved senior, diagnostic testing is a cornerstone of proactive wellness.
We recommend regular laboratory testing during your pet’s wellness exam to establish a baseline of health. Early detection is the best way to manage chronic diseases before they become symptomatic.
While we handle many tests in-house, we also partner with elite outside reference laboratories for complex testing, including:
Allergy Testing: Identifying environmental and food triggers.
Histopathology: Expert analysis of biopsies and skin masses.
Endocrine Testing: Advanced screening for thyroid and adrenal disorders.
Diagnostic testing isn’t just for sick pets—it’s an essential safety measure.
Pre-Anesthetic Screening: Ensuring your pet’s organs are healthy enough to process anesthesia safely before surgery.
Medication Monitoring: Checking organ function for pets on long-term prescriptions.
Parasite Prevention: Rapid fecal and heartworm screenings to keep your family safe.
Most in-house tests, such as CBCs and chemistry panels, can be completed in less than 30 minutes, allowing us to discuss results during your appointment.
In many cases, yes. Fasting for 8–12 hours helps ensure the most accurate results for blood sugar and cholesterol levels. We will notify you if fasting is required for your pet’s specific test.
Pets age faster than humans. Annual blood work can catch early signs of kidney or liver disease long before your pet actually feels sick, giving us more time to treat the condition.
Our on-site diagnostic laboratory allows us to identify health concerns instantly, ensuring your pet starts the right treatment immediately.
