Advanced Laboratory Testing for Early Detection & Better Health

Routine diagnostic testing plays a critical role in maintaining your pet’s health. At Festival Animal Clinic, we offer comprehensive laboratory testing for pets in Centennial, CO, including blood work, urinalysis, fecal testing, and other advanced screenings.

These tests allow us to catch health issues early—often before symptoms appear—so we can provide timely, effective treatment. Whether your pet is visiting for a wellness exam, experiencing illness, or undergoing a surgical procedure, lab testing helps us provide accurate, trustworthy care.

Why Laboratory Testing Matters for Your Pet

Pets cannot tell us how they feel, and many medical conditions develop silently. Laboratory testing allows us to:
  • Establish baseline health values
  • Detect early signs of disease
  • Monitor chronic medical conditions
  • Assess organ function
  • Evaluate hydration and electrolyte balance
  • Confirm infections or underlying issues
  • Provide safe anesthesia and surgical planning

Regular testing is especially important for senior pets, pets with chronic conditions, and those showing signs of illness.
