At Humane Vet Hospital, we provide in-clinic blood work for pets along with a full range of diagnostic lab testing for cats and dogs. Using advanced veterinary technology, our Spring Valley team delivers accurate results to help detect illness early, guide treatment, and support your pet’s long-term health.
Note: Based on your pet’s medical history or current symptoms, blood tests may be recommended during a Wellness Exam or Sick Visit (additional fees may apply).
Booking your pet’s lab testing at Humane Vet Hospital ensures fast, accurate diagnostics delivered by a caring team you can trust.
All testing is done in our clinic, where distractions are minimized and every pet is evaluated in a clean, sterile space with trained veterinary professionals on hand.
Whenever possible, blood work for cats and blood work for dogs is performed during their scheduled exam, keeping your visit streamlined and stress-free while avoiding extra trips.
Our veterinarians take your pet’s age, medical history, and current condition into account before recommending tests, so every result has a purpose.
Routine lab work allows us to identify early signs of disease, track chronic conditions, and create treatment plans that give your pet the best care at every stage of life.
Our in-clinic testing process is designed to keep your visit smooth and your pet comfortable from start to finish.
We often bundle blood work with your pet’s Wellness or Sick Visit. Based on symptoms and history, we select the most relevant tests to provide a clear picture of internal health.
Before moving forward, we explain which diagnostic tests are recommended and how they support your pet’s care - so you always know what’s being done and why.
Whether your pet is nervous or calm, we handle every blood draw with patience and care, making the experience as stress-free as possible.
Once testing is complete, our veterinarians walk you through the results, answer your questions, and provide next steps or follow-up care as needed.
During a Wellness Exam or Sick Visit, your veterinarian may recommend one or more of the following tests based on your pet’s age, health history, and current condition:
Offers a broad view of internal health, checking for infection, anemia, and organ function issues.
Evaluates kidney and urinary tract health and can detect infections or early diabetes.
Screens for parasites and explain issues like diarrhea, vomiting, or digestive upset.
A quick test essential for dogs; cats may also be tested depending on lifestyle and risk.
Identifies Lyme disease, ehrlichia, or anaplasma if your pet has been exposed to ticks.
Uses samples examined under a microscope to confirm yeast, bacterial, or inflammatory infections.
Confirms bacterial infections and identifies which antibiotic will be most effective.
Measures antibody levels to determine if your pet is still protected without additional boosters.
For lumps or masses, this test collects a small sample to rule out or confirm cancer, cysts, or benign growths.
At Humane Vet Hospital, we make advanced diagnostics simple and accessible for every pet family. Same-day visits are often available, and you can book online anytime – day or night.
