Friendship Hospital for Animals has a top of the line in-house laboratory that allows us to examine and evaluate many parameters of your pet's blood, urine, and feces in a rapid manner, most within 30 minutes if needed.

Our veterinary technicians are trained in the use of our laboratory equipment and forward the results immediately to the veterinarians for interpretation. A few of the vet lab tests we are able to perform in house include:

Complete blood count
Blood cell morphology analysis
