On-Site Laboratory Testing for Prompt, Reliable Pet Diagnostics
At Urban Vet Care, we know that when your pet is sick, time matters. That’s why we offer a fully equipped veterinary in-house lab in our Denver clinic—providing fast, precise results that help us diagnose and treat your pet without delay. Our on-site diagnostics allow us to perform essential tests such as bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal screening with same-day turnaround, so we can start treatment sooner and give you peace of mind.
In addition to our in-hospital capabilities, we also partner with a full-service local veterinary laboratory for comprehensive diagnostics that require more specialized analysis, ensuring accuracy and continuity of care.
What Our In-House Lab Can Do
Urban Vet Care’s advanced in-house veterinary lab supports a wide range of diagnostic services, including:
- Bloodwork (CBC, chemistry panels, clotting profiles)
- Urinalysis for kidney and bladder health
- Fecal exams to detect intestinal parasites
- Heartworm and tick-borne disease testing
- Feline leukemia and FIV screening
- Pre-anesthetic blood panels for surgical safety
- Monitoring tests for chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, thyroid disease)
These tools allow our veterinarians to gain real-time insights into your pet’s health, guide accurate treatment decisions, and catch issues early—often before symptoms become obvious.
Why On-Site Diagnostics Matter
for Your Pet
Diagnostic testing is a cornerstone of modern veterinary care. Pets can’t tell us how they feel, which makes objective, science-backed testing critical for catching illness and guiding treatment.
Our in-house veterinary lab plays a vital role in:
- Early detection of disease: Many conditions, like kidney disease, diabetes, and infections, show no outward signs in early stages. Lab tests help us find them early—when they’re more treatable.
- Faster treatment decisions: Same-day results let us begin treatment immediately for urgent or painful conditions.
- Surgical safety: Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures your pet is healthy enough to undergo surgery or dental procedures safely.
- Ongoing monitoring: For pets with chronic illnesses, regular lab work helps track progress and adjust medications as needed.
Whether your pet comes in for a wellness exam or isn’t feeling their best, fast and accurate diagnostics can make all the difference in their care.
A Team You Can Trust
Our skilled veterinary team has extensive training in diagnostic medicine and utilizes our in-house lab daily to deliver timely, accurate care. Every test is reviewed in the context of your pet’s symptoms, history, and physical exam findings, ensuring results are interpreted with clinical insight.
