The Power of Our In-House Pet Laboratory

Our in-house lab offers extensive tests, including serum chemistry, which reveals intricate details of your pet’s blood chemistry for early disease detection. We also conduct hematology tests to analyze blood cells, aiding in diagnosing and monitoring various conditions. Our serology tests detect antibodies to identify infections and immune system responses, while urinalysis provides insights into kidney function and detects urinary tract issues. Additionally, our lab offers parasite testing, allowing us to identify and promptly treat internal and external parasites.

Benefits for Your Beloved Pet

Choosing Palo Duro Animal Hospital and our in-house laboratory services means more than just reliable diagnostics; it means giving your pet the best chance at a healthy, happy life.

Timely Treatment

Swift access to diagnostic results from our in-house laboratory means we can promptly initiate treatment. This is especially crucial in emergencies and critical conditions. Rapid intervention can alleviate your pet’s discomfort, potentially saving their life and reducing the severity of their condition.

Better Outcomes

Early detection is often the key to successful treatment. Our in-house laboratory’s quick turnaround time allows us to catch and address health issues at their earliest stages. This increases the chances of a full recovery and minimizes the need for more invasive and costly procedures down the line. Your pet can enjoy a longer, healthier life with fewer complications.

Cost-Effective Care

While we always strive for your pet’s best care, we also consider your budget. Our in-house laboratory helps us pinpoint the most efficient diagnostic tests and treatments, reducing unnecessary expenses. We believe in transparency and will work with you to find the most cost-effective solutions without compromising your pet’s well-being.

Comprehensive Monitoring

For pets with chronic conditions or those on long-term medication, our in-house laboratory allows for continuous monitoring. We can regularly assess your pet’s progress and adjust their treatment plan as needed. This ensures that your pet’s health remains on the right track and that they enjoy the best possible quality of life.
