Lab Testing For Pet Diagnostics

Lab work can reveal a lot about your pet’s internal health, even when they appear outwardly fine. Dr. Walia recommends routine testing for early detection and better treatment planning. Our diagnostic options for cats and dogs include:

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

X-rays provide a clear look at what’s happening inside your pet’s body without invasive procedures. Digital radiographs are fast, accurate, and extremely helpful when your pet is injured or sick. Dr. Walia uses X-rays to evaluate:

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.
