A Closer Look at Your Pet’s Health, With Care


At Paws Up, diagnostic testing isn’t just about pinpointing illness—it’s about painting a complete picture of your pet’s health. From routine bloodwork to advanced imaging, our in-clinic services help us catch issues early and guide tailored treatment when needed.

All the details, none of the guesswork.

    • Prevention vs. Treatment: Annual diagnostics—even for pets that seem healthy—are key to spotting early warning signs before they escalate.

    • Accurate Answers, Faster Care: Whether investigating symptoms or confirming wellness, diagnostics give us the insights we need to act quickly.

    • Peace of Mind: Clear test results and transparent findings help you feel confident in every recommendation.

  • Bloodwork
    Evaluates organ function, hydration, infections, and more—also helps determine anesthesia readiness.

    Urinalysis
    Screens for urinary tract health, kidney function, diabetes, and metabolic issues.

    Fecal Testing
    Detects internal parasites—even in symptom-free pets.

    Cytology
    Examines skin or ear cells; can include biopsies to detect infections or abnormal growths.

    Digital X-rays
    Non-invasive imaging to spot bone, joint, and internal organ conditions—sedation only if needed.

    Ultrasound
    Real-time internal views—no radiation, usually no sedation (may require minor fur trimming).

    • Comfort Comes First: For samples like blood, urine, or feces, you can usually stay with your pet. Just bring samples from home when possible.

    • Advanced Imaging: For X-rays or ultrasound, your pet may be gently guided back to our imaging suite—it’s quick, peaceful, and low-stress.

    • Insightful Follow-Up: After testing, your vet will review the results with you, proposing a clear and compassionate next step—whether it’s routine monitoring or treatment.

  • Let us answer the most common questions with clarity and care.

    • “My pet seems fine—do they still need testing?”

      Yes! Preventive diagnostics help us catch issues early—sometimes even before any signs appear.

    • “Will my pet need anesthesia for X-rays or ultrasound?”

      Only if necessary—the majority of imaging can be done without it, but your pet’s comfort always guides our approach.

    • “What if I bring a sample from home?”

      That’s perfect! Urine and fecal samples help us perform quick, accurate diagnostics. Just be sure to bring them in a clean container.

    • Diagnostics done efficiently—right in our clinic, with faster results.

    • High-tech imaging, yet low-pressure, stress-free environment.

    • Transparent, guided conversations—so you always know what’s happening and why.
