All these in-house tests and diagnostic imaging options enable us to rapidly work up and diagnose complicated medical cases, so that appropriate treatment can be administered promptly. We also routinely send samples to reference labs for further diagnosis if warranted. 

We strongly advocate doing thorough senior wellness exams and screening tests to detect early signs of organ dysfunction and age-related changes before your pet starts to get sick. This allows early intervention to slow down the progression of these diseases and ensure that your pet is well taken care of during their golden years.
