Fast, Accurate In-House Testing for Dogs and Cats
When something seems off with your dog or cat, the last thing you want to do is wait days for answers. Our in-house veterinary laboratory at Baxter Creek Veterinary Clinic lets us run a wide range of diagnostic tests right here in the clinic — often during the same appointment — so we can get to the bottom of what’s going on and start treatment quickly.
Whether your pet is in for a wellness exam, a sick visit, or pre-surgical screening, our on-site lab keeps everything moving so you spend less time wondering and more time helping your pet feel better.
Our Veterinary Lab Capabilities
We use modern, high-precision equipment to perform a broad range of diagnostic tests for dogs and cats, including:
- Complete Blood Counts (CBC) to detect infection, inflammation, or anemia
- Blood Chemistry Panels to evaluate organ function and overall health
- Urinalysis to screen for urinary issues, diabetes, and kidney disease
- Fecal Testing to identify intestinal parasites
- Cytology and Skin Testing to investigate allergies, infections, or abnormal growths
For more specialized testing, we partner with trusted reference laboratories — so even the more complex diagnostics are handled by experienced hands.
Why In-House Testing Matters
Same-day results aren’t just convenient — they’re often critical. Faster answers mean faster treatment, which can make a real difference in urgent situations, post-surgical recovery, and the early management of chronic conditions. In-house testing also helps us monitor your pet’s health over time, building a clearer picture with every visit.
Combined with our diagnostic imaging capabilities, our laboratory services give our team a comprehensive view of your pet’s health — and you the clarity you need to make confident care decisions.
