What Are On-Site Diagnostic Tests?

On-site diagnostic tests are medical evaluations performed directly at our veterinary clinic, allowing our team to assess your pet’s health in real time. Whether your pet is showing signs of illness or needs routine wellness screening, our in-house diagnostic tools ensure prompt results and efficient care.

At Neighborhood Veterinary Centers NASA, we’re proud to offer advanced on-site diagnostics to help identify and treat your pet’s health issues as quickly and accurately as possible. Immediate testing means less waiting and faster answers, so your pet can get the care they need without delay.

Why On-Site Diagnostics Matter

  • Faster results mean faster care
  • Improved accuracy through high-quality imaging and lab capabilities
  • Early detection of diseases before visible symptoms develop
  • Convenient, comprehensive care under one roof

Types of On-Site Diagnostic Tests We Offer

Every day, each laboratory machine and instrument works almost as hard as our veterinary team. Our laboratory capabilities include hematology, cytology, parasitology, and serum chemistry, with familiar tests that include:

  • Bloodwork: Evaluates organ function, detects infections, and assesses overall health
  • Urinalysis: Identifies urinary tract infections, kidney issues, and metabolic disorders
  • Fecal Examination: Detects intestinal parasites and digestive abnormalities
  • Cytology: Examines cells from skin lesions, ear swabs, or masses to diagnose infections or tumors
  • Digital Radiography (X-Rays): Visualizes bones, joints, and internal organs to detect fractures, arthritis, or foreign bodies.
  • Ultrasound: Assesses soft tissue structures, including abdominal organs and the heart, to identify abnormalities

Annual Screening Tests Allow For Early Detection

Routine diagnostics aren’t just for sick pets. Annual blood work and parasite screenings help us catch hidden issues like early-stage kidney disease, diabetes, or heartworm before symptoms appear. By establishing your pet’s health baseline, we can track changes over time and adjust their care plan proactively.

External Lab Partnerships for Advanced Testing

While our in-house diagnostics cover most needs, some advanced or highly specialized tests are processed through trusted external laboratories. We coordinate all sample submissions and communicate results with you directly, so your pet’s care stays streamlined and consistent.

Common On-Site Diagnostics FAQ's

Are Diagnostic Tests Safe for My Pet?

Yes. Most diagnostic tests are non-invasive or minimally invasive and are safe for pets of all ages. Our team ensures your pet is calm and comfortable during the process.
