Urinalysis
This routine test is an important part of evaluating your pet’s health, especially if they’re exhibiting clinical signs pointing to illness. It’s mainly used to assess the kidneys and urinary system, but it can also reveal problems in other parts of the body.
Blood Screening
We highly recommend yearly bloodwork for all of our patients, especially senior pets. We customize our blood panels depending on your pet’s age, species, and clinical symptoms, and a bloodwork analysis is mandatory prior to anesthetic procedures. This enables us to be proactive and responsible advocates for your pet’s health.
Diagnostic Imaging (Radiography & Ultrasonography)
X-rays and ultrasounds are sometimes the most conclusive form of diagnostic testing we can do to examine bones, the heart, lungs, and other abdominal organs. X-rays are necessary for determining a course of action for a foreign body and can save your pet’s life. An ultrasound is a useful diagnostic tool for examining abdominal disease, completing a sterile urinalysis, and monitoring pregnancies.
Echocardiogram
Informative and non-invasive, an ultrasound of the heart helps to identify heart murmurs, irregular rhythms, and heart disease. Routine screenings can be scheduled for pets predisposed with heart conditions or breeding candidates.
Blood Pressure Monitoring
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is more common in pets than you may think and it’s usually caused by an underlying medical condition. Measuring your pet’s blood pressure accurately is important to understand the severity of your pet’s condition and prescribing appropriate treatment.
Fecal Testing
A series of tests are done on a fecal sample to help diagnose certain conditions that may be affecting your pet’s digestive tract. Fecals enable veterinarians to determine if your pet has intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, coccidia, and giardia.

Surgical Insemination
Surgical insemination boasts the highest fertility rates and breeding success but is more invasive than natural breeding. The procedure allows ideal insemination timing during the ovulation cycle and is especially ideal for breeds with difficulties breeding naturally, like bulldogs.
