In-house lab testing refers to a wide range of diagnostic tests performed directly at our hospital, providing fast and accurate results for your pet. At Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital, our skilled veterinary team utilizes advanced equipment to run essential tests, including CBC (complete blood count), chemistry panels, cytologies, urinalysis, fecal exams, DTM, PCV, TP, heartworm testing, FELV/FIV, parvo, CPL, FPL, and Pro BNP. These tests help us quickly diagnose illnesses, monitor chronic conditions, and screen for underlying issues that may not be visible during a physical exam.
With the ability to perform diagnostics onsite, your pet receives timely care when it matters most. Rapid results mean we can start treatment right away, whether your pet is experiencing an urgent issue or needs routine screening. This approach supports better medical outcomes and greater peace of mind for you as a pet owner. Our commitment to exceptional medicine ensures your pet is always in caring, capable hands.

Our in-house lab testing process is designed for your pet's comfort and your convenience. Here’s what you can expect when you visit Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital for diagnostic care.
Our veterinary team begins with a thorough physical exam and a discussion of your pet's symptoms or wellness needs. If testing is recommended, we gently collect the necessary samples, such as blood, urine, or feces, using techniques that minimize stress for your pet.
Once samples are collected, our advanced laboratory equipment allows us to analyze them immediately. Tests like CBC, chemistry panels, cytology, and urinalysis are performed onsite, delivering results within minutes to hours rather than days.
Our veterinarians, including Dr. Laura Arington, DVM, and Dr. Jess Nance, DVM, review each test result in detail. They interpret the findings, explain what they mean for your pet, and answer any questions you may have about the results or next steps.
With lab results in hand, our veterinary professionals can quickly recommend a treatment plan or further diagnostics if needed. Immediate access to lab data means your pet receives timely, targeted care, improving outcomes and reducing worry for your family.

In-house lab testing is a cornerstone of proactive and responsive veterinary care. At Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital, it allows us to detect health issues early, monitor ongoing conditions, and provide rapid answers during emergencies. Fast, accurate results mean less waiting and better outcomes for your pet.
Many illnesses show few or no outward signs until they become advanced. In-house lab tests, such as bloodwork and urinalysis, help us identify problems like infections, organ dysfunction, or metabolic disorders before symptoms worsen.
When your pet is sick or injured, every moment counts. Onsite diagnostics provide near-instant results, enabling our team to start critical treatments or supportive care without delay.
Pets with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, kidney disease, or heart conditions, require regular monitoring. Our in-house capabilities make it easy to track changes and adjust care plans quickly, keeping your pet comfortable and stable.
Some changes in your pet’s behavior or health may indicate the need for diagnostic testing. If you notice any of the following signs, in-house lab work can help pinpoint the cause:
If your pet exhibits any of these symptoms, contact our team promptly. Timely lab testing can provide crucial insights and guide the best course of care.
The frequency of lab testing depends on your pet’s age, health status, and specific concerns. For healthy adult pets, annual screening bloodwork and urinalysis are recommended as part of routine wellness care. Senior pets, or those with chronic illnesses, may need more frequent testing, every 6 to 12 months, or as advised by our veterinarians. If your pet is ill or showing concerning signs, immediate diagnostic testing is essential. Our veterinary team will recommend the right schedule to support your pet’s ongoing health.
