Laboratory Testing
In-House Lab Testing for Pets in Savannah, GA
Accurate, timely diagnostics are essential for identifying underlying health conditions in pets. At Village Crossroad Animal Hospital, we offer in-house veterinary laboratory testing—including bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal exams—to help diagnose illness, monitor chronic conditions, and support preventative care. Fast results mean faster treatment and better outcomes.
Why Laboratory Testing Is Important
Many diseases and conditions don’t show symptoms in their early stages. Routine lab testing allows us to detect problems before they become more serious or even life-threatening. Early detection gives us the best chance of successful treatment and can extend the life and comfort of your pet.
Lab work is also crucial for:
- Pre-anesthetic safety checks
- Monitoring chronic illnesses (e.g., diabetes, kidney disease, thyroid issues)
- Determining baselines for senior pet wellness
- Identifying infections, organ dysfunction, and more

When Should Pets Get Lab Work?
We recommend annual wellness testing for most adult pets and biannual testing for seniors. Bloodwork is also a standard part of our pre-surgical assessments and illness evaluations. If your pet isn’t acting like themselves, lab testing can help us get to the root of the issue quickly and effectively.
