Diagnostics

In-House Laboratory

We have an in-house laboratory that enables us to perform a number of important diagnostics, including serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis, parasite testing, pre-anesthetic testing, and more. When extensive tests are needed, we may utilize commercial laboratories.

DNA Testing

Have you ever wondered what breeds make up your mixed breed dog? Sometimes we want to know what kind of dog we have because of health concerns, predispositions, and more. Kindness Animal Hosptial now offers DNA testing through Royal Canin! This unique process compares your dog’s DNA to the unique genetic signatures of more than 250 breeds, types, and varieties of dog to determine what breed your pet is! The test also checks for genetic mutations that can predict specific health conditions, predict your pet’s likely adult weight, and provide a benchmark for your pet’s future weight and dietary management.

Radiography

Radiography is such an important veterinary tool! We have modern, on-site radiology services, allowing us to identify and treat a variety of conditions.

Ultrasound

Veterinary ultrasound is a tool that enables us to visualize internal organs without using an invasive surgery or technique. Ultrasound is entirely non-invasive and is a safe way of checking for internal conditions that an x-ray is not powerful enough to identify.
