Preventative Care

Our in-house laboratory is equipped to run point-of-care urinalysis, serology, and deeper hematology.  

Our handheld analyzer allows the veterinary team to receive laboratory quality blood gas, electrolyte, chemistry, and hematology results within minutes. This helps us to diagnose and treat your pet quickly.  

When necessary, tests are sent out to a specialized veterinary reference lab for more advanced diagnostics, including histopathology. 

Our digital radiology equipment allows us to take x-ray images to aid in diagnosing many different injuries or illnesses from broken bones to pneumonia, foreign object ingestion to heart disease. This non-invasive tool helps guide individualized treatment for your pet. Digital images can easily be sent for specialist interpretation if more information is necessary.  

Ultrasonography is a versatile imaging modality available at our Community Veterinary Hospital that allows us to see inside the body quickly and easily and especially into soft tissues of the chest and abdomen. We can use ultrasonography to help guide fluid and sample collection too.  

Cytology refers to the examination of individual cells taken from masses, skin, ears, lymph nodes, urine and any other cell type which can help arrive at a diagnosis and treatment plan for your pet. Our digital cytology service allows us to send images of cells quickly and seamlessly to specialized veterinary experts (pathologists) for identification and diagnosis thus helping us create an individualized care plan for your pet. 

Ability to measure your pet’s heart rate and rhythm. Can be helpful in diagnosing underlying cardiac disease.

Just like us, abnormally high or low blood pressure can be an indication of underlying disease. Regular monitoring may be part of your regular checkups for senior pets. 

Measuring eye pressure is a helpful tool for screening various genetic ocular diseases in many breeds and is a vital diagnostic for most eye diseases.
