In-House Laboratory
CBC, blood chemistries, and electrolytes that show how the organs are working — run here when a case can't wait.
When something's wrong, accurate answers matter. Our digital imaging is read here in Williamsburg during your visit, and our in-house lab means urgent cases don't wait — so we can start treatment sooner.
We match each test to the lab that does it best. Digital imaging is read right here, and our in-house lab handles urgent cases where waiting isn't an option. For routine bloodwork and urinalysis, we send samples to our reference lab, which gives us broader panels and a second layer of review.
Either way, we explain exactly what we're seeing and why — and we don't wait on a result to start care when your pet needs it now.

Clearer, lower-radiation x-rays for dental and whole-body views, ready on screen in seconds.
Heart workups when a pet shows signs of heart disease, so we can catch problems early.
Quick checks for infection, kidney issues, diabetes, and intestinal parasites.
Liver and kidney checks before anesthesia, so we can choose the safest plan.
Routine labs that catch treatable problems early in older pets.
Digital x-rays go straight to a screen with no film to develop — if an image isn't quite right, we see it immediately and retake it on the spot.
For senior pets especially, routine labs often catch treatable problems early, and we frequently see older pets bounce back once an issue is found and addressed.
We commonly recommend lab work at a puppy or kitten's first visit, during annual and senior wellness exams, before surgery or anesthesia, before starting certain medications, and any time a pet seems "off" without an obvious cause. Pre-surgical bloodwork helps us check liver and kidney function so we can choose the safest anesthesia plan.

Yes. Alongside digital x-rays, we use diagnostic imaging to look more closely at specific concerns, and we can perform cardiac workups when a pet shows signs of heart disease. If your pet needs imaging or testing beyond what's done during a routine exam, we'll explain what we're looking for and why before we proceed.
