Laboratory

At Foothills Animal Hospital and Emergency Center, we know that fast and accurate diagnostic results are vital when it comes to your pet’s health. That’s why we offer state-of-the-art in-house laboratory testing along with access to a trusted referral laboratory network, allowing us to provide timely answers and comprehensive diagnostic insights for every patient.

Our in-house laboratory is equipped with advanced analyzers and technology that enable our medical team to perform a wide range of tests within minutes. This rapid turnaround is especially important in urgent or emergency situations, helping our veterinarians make informed treatment decisions right away.
​​​​​​​
We also partner with a board-certified reference laboratory for more advanced or specialized testing. These tests are reviewed and interpreted by veterinary pathologists and specialists, ensuring the highest level of diagnostic accuracy and detail when evaluating complex cases.

Our in-house and referral laboratory services include:

• Complete blood counts (CBC) to assess overall health and detect infection or anemia
• Blood chemistry profiles to evaluate organ function and metabolic health
• Electrolyte testing for hydration and balance monitoring
• Urinalysis and fecal examinations to detect internal issues and parasites
• Pre-anesthetic and wellness screening panels
• Cytology and pathology through our reference laboratory for detailed tissue analysis
• Endocrine and specialized diagnostic testing through our referral partners

With both in-house and referral laboratory services, we can provide a full picture of your pet’s health—from immediate point-of-care diagnostics to advanced specialty testing when needed. This combination ensures that your pet receives accurate, efficient, and individualized care, no matter how simple or complex the case.

At Foothills Animal Hospital and Emergency Center, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of veterinary medicine through advanced technology, collaboration with industry-leading laboratories, and a dedication to excellence in every diagnostic test we perform.
