Why Diagnostic Testing Is Important for Pets
Many illnesses begin with subtle changes that are easy to miss at home. If your pet seems tired, has changes in appetite, or simply does not seem like themselves, diagnostic testing helps reveal what is happening internally.
Our diagnostic tools allow us to:
Evaluate organ function and detect early disease
Confirm infections or inflammation
Examine bones and joints for injury or arthritis
Identify hormonal and long-term conditions
Build treatment plans with clarity and accuracy
Because testing is performed on site, you avoid long waits and unnecessary referrals for results.
In-House Veterinary Laboratory Testing
Our on-site laboratory allows us to run essential tests during your pet’s visit, so we can review results quickly and discuss next steps without delay.
Common in-house tests include:
Complete blood counts (CBC) for overall health assessment
Blood chemistry panels to evaluate liver, kidney, and metabolic function
Urinalysis for urinary health and diabetes screening
Fecal testing for parasites and digestive issues
Electrolyte testing to assess hydration and balance
Heartworm and tick-borne disease screening
We review every result with you and explain what it means for your pet’s care.
Digital X-Rays for Dogs and Cats in Maple Grove
Digital radiography provides clear, detailed images of your pet’s internal structures within minutes. Whether we are evaluating an injury or monitoring a long-term condition, X-rays support accurate diagnosis and confident treatment decisions.
Digital X-rays help us:
Identify fractures and joint changes
Locate foreign objects or masses
Evaluate the heart and lungs
Monitor chronic disease progression
Support surgical planning
Our technology delivers immediate results and allows for consultation with specialists when appropriate.
Pet Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging gives us a real-time view of your pet’s internal organs using sound waves rather than radiation. This safe, non-invasive tool provides detailed information without surgery or recovery time.
Ultrasound is commonly used to:
Examine the liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, and other abdominal organs
Assess heart structure and function
Investigate unexplained pain, appetite changes, or weight loss
Monitor pregnancy
Identify fluid in the chest or abdomen
Assist with guided sample collection when needed
A small area of fur may be clipped for better contact with the probe. Most pets tolerate the procedure well, and it is usually completed in about 30 minutes. Results are available right away so we can review findings with you the same day.
