Pet diagnostics in Daly City give our veterinary team the information needed to build the right plan of care for your dog or cat. Bloodwork, urinalysis, digital X-ray, ultrasound, echocardiogram, and in-house lab assays are run on-site at our clinic, often during the same visit. We see diagnostic cases every day from 8 AM to 7 PM. For diagnostic needs outside our posted hours, please visit a 24-hour facility in the Bay Area.
Veterinary diagnostics are the tools that help identify what is affecting a dog or cat’s health. They include bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal screens, digital X-ray, ultrasound, echocardiogram, cytology, and biochemistry panels. Most results are available the same day at clinics with in-house labs, so the care plan can begin without waiting for outside results.
Our in-house lab runs the routine bloodwork that most cases need within the same visit, including complete blood panels, biochemistry, urinalysis with culture where indicated, and SNAP testing for common infectious concerns. Specialty assays such as ACTH stimulation testing, progesterone, clotting factor evaluation, cytology, and fine needle aspirate review are also handled on-site. Same-visit results mean the veterinary team can recommend next steps before you leave, which often prevents an extra trip and lets care begin sooner.
Imaging at our Daly City clinic includes digital X-ray for orthopedic and abdominal cases, full abdominal ultrasound for soft tissue evaluation, and echocardiogram with Doppler for cardiac workups. Board-certified radiology support is available on staff for cases that benefit from specialist interpretation. Most imaging studies are completed within the same visit, with images stored digitally so they can be shared with referral specialists when needed. This depth of imaging in-house means many cases that would otherwise require an outside referral can be cared for here.
Some cases need a deeper workup. Titre testing helps confirm a pet's immunity before a vaccine decision. Giardia testing, skin scraping, ear mite microscopy, and endocrinology panels handle cases that the routine workup leaves open. Our team picks the test that answers the question at hand, rather than running every test possible, which keeps cost predictable for owners.
When most results are available before you leave the clinic, our veterinarians can build the care plan in real time. That means fewer follow-up visits, faster care for pets that need to be seen today, and clearer cost estimates because the workup is known up front.
Our in-house diagnostics include complete blood panels, biochemistry, urinalysis, fecal screens, SNAP testing, cytology, fine needle aspirate review, digital X-ray, abdominal ultrasound, and echocardiogram. Specialty assays such as ACTH stimulation and progesterone testing are also available.
Most routine results from our in-house lab and imaging are available within the same visit, so the care plan can be built before you leave. Some specialty assays take longer; the veterinary team will share the timeline at your visit.
