Health Screening
We conduct comprehensive health screenings including bloodwork, urinalysis, and imaging diagnostics. Early detection programs identify conditions like hip dysplasia and heart disease in early stages. Our in-house lab provides rapid results for urgent cases while specialized tests get sent to external veterinary labs.
