Laboratory

Countryside Animal Hospital has excellent in-house veterinary laboratory facilities and are able to quickly run a variety diagnostic tests. Our well-trained and experienced technicians assist the veterinarians by running tests for heartworms, intestinal parasites, parvovirus, tick diseases, ear cytologies, urinalysis, blood pressure, and skin scrapings.

In-house blood testing is available to screen organ systems for pre-anesthetic procedures, or can diagnose conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, pancreatitis, diabetes, or anemia. We also utilize the resources of America's largest veterinary diagnostic laboratory for more comprehensive blood testing. Results are often returned the same day and your veterinarian will promptly call you with test results.

We use the services of a board certified pathologist to evaluate all biopsy specimens. We have a working relationship with the best facilities in the country for specialty testing of thyroid diseases, endocrine disorders, urinary stone analysis, cardiology ultrasounds, gastrointestinal disorders, and cancer screening.  

Our Countryside veterinarians critically evaluate the quality and accuracy of every test before rendering an interpretation. We know that your best friend deserves no less than our best efforts.
