Northfield Veterinary Laboratory
Northfield Veterinary Laboratory is equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment. Our goal is to provide accurate answers and ensure 24/7 continuous access to veterinary laboratory services, particularly for urgent and emergency cases, so we can help save the lives of your beloved pets.
By conducting the tests on-site, we frequently deliver results within hours instead of days, enabling us to initiate life-saving treatments right away during emergencies.
Mission of Veterinary Laboratory
Our on-site veterinary laboratory provides rapid and precise diagnostic testing, which is essential for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment. By performing these tests in-house, we can often provide results within hours rather than days, allowing us to begin life-saving treatments immediately during emergencies. We utilize advanced technology for 2026 to offer a full range of diagnostic tests:
- Hematology & Blood Chemistry: Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels to evaluate organ function (liver, kidneys, pancreas) and detect anemia, infection, or electrolyte imbalances.
- Cytology & Histology: Microscopic examination of cells from skin, ears, fluids, or masses to identify inflammation, infections, or cancerous growths.
- Urinalysis & Fecal Analysis: Essential screenings for detecting urinary tract infections, metabolic diseases like diabetes, and intestinal parasites.
- Molecular Diagnostics (PCR): High-sensitivity testing for rapid identification of specific viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
- Microbiology: Bacterial and fungal cultures with sensitivity testing to ensure the most effective antibiotic or antifungal treatment is chosen.
Advantages of Northfield Pet Laboratory
One of the key advantages of the Northfield Pet Laboratory is its ability to store your pet’s test results in the Northfield Veterinary Center’s information database. This function serves as a valuable reference for monitoring your pet’s health over time. Such comparisons can facilitate the early detection of subtle changes in your pet’s health status and provide you with a robust framework for effectively overseeing their well-being.
