Laboratory Testing

  • A wellness profile is an easy way for Dr. Doolittle to get an overall picture or the pet’s health
  • We strongly recommend pre-anesthetic testing to help determine whether the pet can handle anesthesia and/or medical procedures
  • Junior wellness testing is performed on pets 1-6 years of age
  • Senior wellness testing is performed on pets 7 years of age and older
  • Annual wellness testing not only allows for early detection and treatment of disease, but if the pet is healthy, provides the owner with peace of mind and the veterinarian a benchmark from which to measure if the pet becomes ill
  • Symptom-specific diagnostic testing is performed when the pet exhibits signs that there is something wrong or when the breed is prone to certain medical conditions
