Early detection saves lives.

Our in-house laboratory allows us to run comprehensive blood, urine, and other diagnostic tests right here at Milton Veterinary Hospital — giving us fast, accurate results so we can make informed decisions about your pet's care.

Why Diagnostic Testing Matters 

Many serious conditions — including kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, and thyroid disorders — show few outward signs in their early stages. Routine bloodwork allows us to detect these problems before they become life-threatening, giving your pet the best chance for a full recovery.

Our complete blood count (CBC) evaluates red and white blood cells and platelets. Our chemistry panel assesses organ function including the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. We also offer thyroid testing, urinalysis, fecal parasite testing, heartworm testing, and tick-borne disease panels.

We recommend baseline bloodwork for puppies and kittens, annual wellness panels for adult pets, and pre-anesthetic testing before any surgical procedure. Senior pets benefit from twice-yearly testing to catch age-related changes early. Bloodwork is also essential when a pet is ill or not responding as expected to treatment.

Because we run most tests in our own laboratory, we can often have results within minutes — not days. This means faster diagnoses and faster treatment for your pet when time matters most.

Outside Lab 

We also use outside labs who help look further into your pet's bloodwork.
