Service / In-house blood analysis

The Vermont in-house laboratory is dedicated to delivering a swift and efficient blood analysis service, ensuring you receive prompt results.

There are several reasons your pet may require a blood test. These tests can aid in the investigation and diagnosis of illnesses, confirm existing diagnoses, monitor treatment efficacy, or identify infectious diseases, organ dysfunction, or skin allergies.

We might also recommend blood analysis to gain insight into your pet’s internal health while they are in good condition – either before administering anaesthetic or for early disease detection as your pet ages. Our comprehensive analysis assesses your pet’s blood cells and organ function, with results compared to normal ranges based on their species and age. Maintaining a record of blood tests when your pet is healthy establishes a personalised “normal range” for them.

Collecting a blood sample from your pet is typically a stress-free procedure. In rare cases where extreme nervousness or anxiety is observed, our veterinary team may suggest anti-anxiety medication or sedation. If you are aware that your pet experiences significant stress during veterinary visits, please consult with your veterinary team about the potential benefits of administering anti-anxiety medication at home before the appointment.

If you have any concerns about the procedure or are uncertain about how your pet might react to a blood test, don’t hesitate to reach out to a member of our team.
