Why Annual Veterinary Lab Work Matters
Routine testing also monitors chronic conditions in pets and lets your veterinarian know when it’s time to adjust a treatment plan.
Our In-House Laboratory for Pet Testing
Our veterinary clinic at PetSmart Veterinary Services: Springfield is equipped with a state-of-the-art laboratory that allows us to perform a range of tests on-site. This means faster results for you and your pet without the need to wait for external lab processing.
With our in-house lab, we can often provide results the same day, allowing for faster diagnoses and treatment plans tailored to your pet’s needs. The following is not a complete list of our diagnostics. If your pet requires a specific test, give our friendly receptionists a call to see if we can perform that diagnostic. Some of the in-house diagnostic tests we offer include:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC) A critical pet blood test to evaluate overall health and detect conditions such as anemia, infection, or immune system disorders.
- Blood Chemistry Panels Assesses organ function, including the liver, kidneys, and pancreas, and detects imbalances in electrolytes and enzymes.
- Electrolytes Important for assessing hydration status and identifying conditions such as kidney disease or dehydration.
- Urinalysis Evaluates kidney function and detects urinary tract infections, crystals, or other abnormalities in the urine.
- Fecal Exams Checks for internal parasites like worms and giardia, which can affect your pet’s health.
- Cytology Used to examine cells for infections, inflammation, or tumors.
- Heartworm Testing A vital test for detecting heartworm infections, which can be life-threatening if not caught early.
- Thyroid Function Tests to check for conditions such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
- SDMA Testing A specialized test that detects early signs of kidney disease.
Advanced Diagnostics with Our Reference Lab Partner
While our in-house lab is capable of performing many essential tests, there are certain specialized diagnostics that require the expertise of a reference lab. For more advanced testing, such as allergy panels or certain types of biopsies, we partner with a trusted reference lab for accurate results. These tests may take a little longer, but they allow us to get a deeper understanding of your pet’s health when needed.
Our veterinarians will work with you to determine which tests are necessary and make sure you receive a clear explanation of the results, whether they come from our in-house lab or a reference lab. We want you to feel empowered to make the best decisions for your pet’s care.
