In-House Diagnostics for Cats, Dogs & Horses in Wickenburg, AZ

Could your pet be hiding signs of illness or injury? Animals can’t tell us when something feels off—and many are skilled at masking discomfort until it becomes serious. That’s why in-house diagnostic testing is such a critical part of veterinary care. We use advanced in-house diagnostics to uncover what your cat, dog, or horse may be feeling inside—often in just minutes. Whether your horse is off feed, your dog is vomiting, or your cat simply isn’t acting like themselves, our on-site laboratory gives us the answers we need to act quickly and treat confidently.

If your pet seems “off” or unwell, don’t wait. Call us today to schedule in-house diagnostic testing.

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.

  • Fecal Testing

    Fecal tests are vital for detecting internal parasites, bacterial imbalances, and digestive issues.

  • Heartworm Testing

    Although heartworm disease is not as common in Arizona as some other states, knowing your pet’s heartworm status is important.

  • FeLV/FIV Testing

    Infectious disease testing is crucial for at-risk cats or multi-cat households.

  • Cytology & Skin Scrapings

    Samples from skin, ears, and masses help us diagnose skin infections, allergies, and lumps

What We Can Detect with In-House Lab Testing

Our fully equipped in-house lab allows us to analyze a broad range of samples—blood, urine, feces, and more—without the delays of outside processing. This means faster diagnoses, faster treatments, and better outcomes.

We commonly use in-house diagnostic testing to evaluate:

  • Signs of infection or inflammation
  • Anemia and dehydration
  • Liver, kidney, or pancreatic function
  • Blood sugar and thyroid levels
  • Electrolyte and metabolic balance
  • Gastrointestinal issues and internal parasites
  • Urinary tract infections or crystals
  • Blood clotting disorders
  • Hormonal imbalances and endocrine conditions
  • Pre-surgical health screening and baseline values

Whether we’re monitoring a senior cat’s kidney values or investigating why your horse has dropped weight, in-house testing helps us get to the root of the problem—fast.

Horses are often stoic when sick, which is why quick and reliable testing is so important. We provide equine diagnostics for horses in Wickenburg and surrounding areas, including:

    This sensitive inflammation marker helps detect early disease.
