In-House Lab in Stillwater, OK
Your pet can’t tell us what’s wrong, so Perkins Road Pet Clinic uses a state-of-the-art diagnostic laboratory to help build an accurate treatment plan for every patient.
Fast, Accurate Diagnostics On-Site
Our laboratory is capable of performing a full range of diagnostic tests, with results often available within 20 minutes. That means faster, more accurate treatment for your pet, without the delay of sending samples off-site and waiting days for answers.
What Our In-House Lab Can Test For
- Bloodwork to evaluate organ function and overall health
- Fecal exams to detect intestinal parasites
- Heartworm and tick-borne disease testing
- Urinalysis for kidney and urinary tract health
- Pre-anesthetic bloodwork before procedures like dental cleanings or surgery
How Lab Testing Supports Your Pet’s Care
In-house diagnostics work hand in hand with our other services. Bloodwork and lab results often guide decisions around internal medicine treatment, while imaging tools like digital x-ray and ultrasound help complete the picture when a more complex diagnosis is needed. Annual bloodwork and fecal testing are also standard requirements in both our Adult Program and Puppy/Kitten Program.
