Our pathology and diagnostic tests include:
X-rays: Pet x-rays provide a clear picture of the inside of your furry friend’s body. We can use them to diagnose problems with bones, organs and other tissues.
Ultrasound: Ultrasounds are non-invasive and use sound waves to create images of your pet's internal organs. With an ultrasound, we can evaluate the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, digestive system, reproductive organs and soft tissues.
Pathology tests: We provide in-house pathology tests and can assess your pet’s blood, fluids and body tissues to check for diseases. Blood tests can be used to check for infections, anaemia, organ dysfunction and other health problems. We can also examine urine and faeces, as well as offer biopsies.
DNA tests: Mixed breed DNA testing for dogs can help to determine the ancestry of your four-legged friend. This type of testing can provide insights into the genetic makeup of your dog and can also help us to predict potential health risks that may be associated with certain breeds.
