Lab Testing for Cats & Dogs
For companion animals, early detection can mean the difference between a manageable condition and a medical crisis. We often run the following diagnostic tests for dogs and cats in Wickenburg, AZ:
-
Complete Blood Count
A CBC evaluates red and white blood cell counts, helping us detect infection, anemia, or immune conditions.

Blood Chemistry Panel
We use various chemistry panels to assess organ function, electrolytes, and metabolic status.

Urinalysis
A small urine sample allows us to screen for kidney disease, diabetes, and urinary tract infections.
