These tests can identify infections, organ issues, internal parasites, and other conditions. Lab work is also recommended before surgery or dental cleanings to make sure anesthesia will be safe. Whether part of an annual wellness check or a sick visit, we make testing affordable and straightforward with same-day results for many of these tests.

Digital Pet X-Rays

Dr. Walia will walk you through what to expect and make sure your pet gets the support they need as they prepare to give birth. He is able to perform C-sections as well if needed.
