In-House Laboratory

Jamaica Plain Animal Clinic has the capability to perform various blood tests, pre-anesthetic bloodwork, and other types of testing on-site instead of sending samples to an outside lab. This saves time, money, and most importantly, you don’t have to wait overnight for results—meaning your pet gets a diagnosis and needed treatment sooner.

Testing provided in the hospital includes:

Chemistry Panels

  • Liver enzyme screening
  • Electrolyte screenings
  • Heartworm screening
  • Tick-borne disease screening
  • Renal (Kidney) profiles
  • In-house cytology

Wellness screenings

  • Complete blood counts
  • Blood gases
  • Blood pressure

 Viral screenings

  • FelV, FIV in cats

While we do offer an extensive range of on-site testing, it is possible that your pet may need laboratory work beyond our scope. For those cases, we are happy to send blood work or other testing to an outside lab that will send results back to us.
