In-House Laboratory

West Hills North Veterinary Clinic has a full in-house laboratory with state of the art equipment to help diagnose your pet’s medical issues within minutes. Our advanced diagnostic laboratory allows us to run complete blood counts (CBC’s), chemistry panels, coagulation times and other tests on the spot. We also have the ability to test for heartworm and tick borne diseases, as well as for viral infections (FeLV/FIV, Parvovirus), through our in-house SNAP tests. We are able to share the results of these tests with you within minutes, and can respond immediately if emergency treatment is necessary.

West Hills North Veterinary Clinic also works with a complete reference laboratory that has the ability to run all diagnostic tests. Samples are picked up at the hospital on a daily basis, allowing for a rapid turnaround of test results.
