Most in-house tests — including bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal testing — return results within the same visit. Imaging like X-rays and ultrasound are reviewed immediately by our team. For specialized panels that require an outside reference lab, we will let you know the expected turnaround and follow up with you directly.

For some chemistry panels, fasting for 8 to 12 hours before the test gives the most accurate results — particularly for glucose and lipid values. For urgent or sick-visit bloodwork, we run testing regardless of fasting status and note it in the interpretation. If you are coming in specifically for pre-op or wellness bloodwork, fasting beforehand is helpful. Call us at (727) 390-0333 and we can advise based on your pet's situation.

Yes. Full-mouth dental X-rays are included in every dental cleaning we perform. They are the only way to evaluate tooth roots and bone below the gumline, which is where most dental disease actually lives. See our dental care page for more detail on what is included.
