What We Can Test

With our advanced diagnostic equipment, we can evaluate:

  • Complete blood counts (CBC)

  • Blood chemistry panels

  • Fecal testing for parasites

  • Urinalysis

  • Cytology (ear, skin, lumps)

  • Feline leukemia and heartworm tests

  • Pre-surgical screenings

By processing these tests in-house, we can detect signs of infection, organ dysfunction, metabolic conditions, and more—all during your pet’s visit.

Why In-House Diagnostics Matter

When your pet is sick or undergoing surgery, waiting days for lab results isn’t ideal. Our in-house capabilities allow us to make swift, informed decisions so we can start the right treatment immediately.

Routine lab screenings are also essential to detect early signs of disease—before symptoms even appear. This is especially important for senior pets or those with chronic conditions.

A Personalized, Proactive Approach

At Hobart Animal Clinic, we tailor our diagnostic recommendations based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and medical history. Whether we’re establishing a wellness baseline or investigating a health concern, we take time to explain results and help you understand what they mean for your pet’s care.
