Quick, Reliable Diagnostics with Our In-House Lab

A veterinary in-house lab is a diagnostic facility located inside our clinic. Instead of relying solely on external laboratories, we’re able to perform a wide range of essential diagnostic tests right here at Clearlake Animal Hospital. Our in-house capabilities include bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal testing, and more, so you can get results fast and your pet can get the care they need without delay.

For more specialized diagnostics, we also partner with trusted external laboratories to send out advanced tests, including biopsies and comprehensive blood panels. This combination of in-house and send-out testing ensures your pet always receives accurate, timely, and thorough diagnostics.

Why Diagnostic Testing Matters

Veterinary diagnostic testing is an essential part of both preventive care and illness management. It helps detect underlying conditions before symptoms appear and supports accurate diagnosis for a wide range of health issues — from infections and organ dysfunction to chronic diseases.

Whether your pet is here for a wellness exam, experiencing new symptoms, or preparing for surgery, diagnostic testing gives us the insights we need to deliver personalized, high-quality care.

Common uses for in-house and send-out testing include:

  • Annual wellness screenings
  • Pre-surgical bloodwork
  • Identifying infections or parasites
  • Monitoring chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease
  • Investigating symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, or fatigue
  • Analyzing tissue samples through biopsies
