Laboratory
If your pet needs screening for any medical conditions, we have the latest IDEXX in-house laboratory which can provide same day results for a wide range of tests. This also allows us to perform our reccomended pre-anaesthetic blood tests on the morning of your pets procedure.
For other tests we can send these to our external laboratories Gribbles Veterinary Pathology and NZVP
If your pet requires a blood test , this is usually collected after clipping a small amount of fur off their neck and taking the sample from their jugular vein. This is a quick and painless procedure that is normally performed without sedation
