Medical Testing
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform many types of medical testing to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of your pet.  Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to diagnose your pet the same day without having to wait for results from an outside lab.  Tests available include.

​

• Blood Tests
  • Complete blood count
  • Serum chemistries
  • Thyroid testing

​

• Urine Tests
  • We have the first automated urinalysis machine in the state of South Dakota!  This allows for much more rapid reliable results with a smaller sample size.

​

• Ear Cytology

We also use outside laboratories for further testing.  This may include cultures, tick panels, histopathology (biopsies), etc.

​Wellness Testing
Wellness testing can aid in the early diagnosis of many conditions before your pet shows any outward signs of disease.  This provides a higher chance of resolution of the disease with treatment beginning sooner in the disease process.  Make sure to ask our veterinarians or veterinary technicians which testing would benefit your pet during your next wellness examination.
