Since the testing is done in-house, results are typically available within the same day, often within a few hours. This allows us to diagnose and begin treatment much faster than if we sent the samples to an external lab.

In most cases, no special preparation is needed for a blood test. However, for some tests, your pet may need to fast beforehand. We will let you know if any specific preparation is required.

Blood tests can provide valuable information about your pet’s organ function, hydration status, electrolyte levels, and red and white blood cell counts. They help detect conditions like anaemia, infections, liver or kidney disease, and metabolic disorders like diabetes.

Yes, blood tests can detect health issues early before your pet shows noticeable symptoms. This allows us to begin treatment sooner, improving the chances of successful management or recovery.

It depends on your pet’s age, health status, and any ongoing conditions. Routine blood tests are often recommended yearly for healthy adult pets, but senior pets or those with chronic health issues may need more frequent testing.

The cost of a blood test can vary depending on the type of test and your pet’s specific needs. We can provide a detailed cost estimate before proceeding with any testing.

Blood tests are often performed before surgery to assess your pet’s overall health and ensure they are fit for anaesthesia. This helps us identify any underlying issues that may complicate the procedure.  However, it is up to the vets discretion as your pet may not require one.
