An In-house Lab at CareFirst Animal Hospitals Provides Speedy Diagnoses
When your pet is sick, the last thing you want to hear from a veterinarian is that you’ll have the test results back from the lab in two to three days, or maybe next week. At our pet clinic, we make sure that our clients get their results quickly for what’s ailing their loving pet. That’s why we created our own in-house laboratory.
Because you want a prompt diagnosis for your sick pet, our facility is equipped with an in-house lab that gives us fast diagnoses. Rather than having to wait for an outside lab to perform the tests and write up the diagnosis, our veterinarians can have lab results available to you within a matter of minutes.
Our in-house lab is equipped with state-of-the art tools such as the VETTEST blood analysis machine. This piece of equipment is a high-powered microscope, and a blood centrifuge. Our equipment is well-maintained to ensure fast, accurate results when minutes count for an accurate diagnosis of illness.
We also have strong associations with an outside laboratory that enables us to provide extensive services and receive rapid results for our clients when needed.
