Pet Diagnostics & Therapeutic Services

At Bristol Animal Hospital, we always strive to provide the best possible medical care for your pet. We are proud to offer state-of-the-art diagnostic services to quickly respond to your pet’s urgent needs, provide pre-anesthetic testing, or provide routine screening.

Laboratory Testing

We have both in-house and reference laboratory testing capabilities for complete blood count, blood chemistries, urinalysis, cytology, and fecal analysis. We partner with IDEXX Laboratories, the leading diagnostic laboratory in the veterinary industry, to provide reference laboratory testing with high-quality analysis, quick turn-around times, and access to board-certified internists and pathologists for assistance with diagnostic interpretation for difficult cases. All biopsies are submitted to board-certified IDEXX pathologists for histopathology.

Digital Radiography

We have digital radiography services to take high-quality radiographs (x-rays), which limits the amount of x-ray exposure for your pet, helps save time while taking radiographs, and allows electronic transfer of images to a board-certified radiologist for interpretation (provided for all radiographs). It also makes for easy transfer of images to a specialist or emergency hospital, if necessary.
