Kyle Animal Hospital’s in-house laboratory provides fast, accurate results to help diagnose and treat your pet efficiently.
Fast Answers That Help UsCare for Your Pet
When your pet is sick or showing subtle signs of discomfort, timely answers can make all the difference. At Kyle Animal Hospital, our in-house laboratory allows us to perform essential diagnostic tests quickly and accurately, giving us valuable insight into your pet’s health during their visit. With faster results, we can begin treatment sooner — and you gain peace of mind when you need it most.
Comprehensive Testing, Right When You Need It
Our on-site lab is equipped to run a wide range of diagnostic tests that help us evaluate your pet’s internal health. These tests allow us to detect underlying illnesses, monitor ongoing conditions, and establish a baseline for your pet’s long-term wellness.
We commonly perform:
- Complete blood counts (CBC)
- Blood chemistry panels
- Urinalysis
- Parasite screenings
- Cytology (skin, ear, and mass samples)
- Tick-borne disease testing
- Heartworm tests
- Fecal exams
Having these capabilities in-house shortens wait times significantly and helps us make informed medical decisions during your pet’s appointment.
Guiding Treatment With Precision and Care
For pets experiencing sudden illness, rapid diagnostic results allow us to quickly pinpoint the underlying issue and develop a treatment plan tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether your companion is vomiting, lethargic, or experiencing unexplained changes in appetite or behavior, laboratory testing often provides the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
The Importance of Routine Lab Work
Even when your pet seems perfectly healthy, internal changes may be happening that aren’t visible from the outside. Routine wellness testing allows us to catch early signs of illness before symptoms appear, making treatment more effective and improving long-term outcomes.
Baseline testing is especially helpful for:
- Senior pets
- Pets starting new medications
- Pets undergoing anesthesia
- Pets with chronic health conditions
This proactive approach helps us stay one step ahead of disease.
