In-House Laboratory for Fast, Accurate Results
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): This test helps identify anemia, infection, and inflammation by evaluating red and white blood cell counts and overall blood health.
- Blood Chemistry Panel: This panel assesses your pet’s organ function, specifically the liver, kidneys, and electrolytes, giving us a full picture of their internal health.
- Thyroid Tests: Essential for senior pets, thyroid testing helps diagnose metabolic disorders like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which are common in older animals.
- Electrolyte Testing: To check hydration and vital minerals, we monitor key electrolytes that help balance your pet’s bodily functions.
- Urinalysis: This test helps detect potential kidney problems and urinary tract infections, common issues that can affect your pet’s comfort and health.
- Fecal Tests: These screenings are crucial for detecting intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and Giardia. Be sure to bring a fresh stool sample for your pet’s annual visit.
At WestVets Maxtown Veterinary Clinic, we are proud to offer an in-house laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools that allow us to provide faster results for your pet. With our on-site lab, we can quickly run tests to detect infections, diseases, or other health conditions that may require immediate attention.

We refer pet parents to trusted laboratories for more specialized diagnostics that our in-house lab do not offer. Common tests to uncover different health issues include:
Dermatology & Allergy Care
Skin conditions and allergies can be frustratingly difficult to diagnose without the right approach. We evaluate your pet's coat, skin, ears, eyes, and paws through a combination of physical exam, owner history, and targeted testing. Whether it's environmental allergies, food sensitivities, or a recurring ear infection, we work to identify the root cause — not just manage the symptoms.
Signs of Dermatological Issues May Include:
- Excessive biting or licking
- Frequent itching and scratching
- Red or watery eyes
- Behavioral changes or irritability
- Flaky skin or rashes
- Altered desire for human attention
If your pet is displaying any of these symptoms, our team at WestVets Maxtown Veterinary Clinic is here to help with personalized care and treatment options.
