Pet Laboratory Testing & Imaging
When it’s not clear why your pet isn’t feeling their best, Fairmont Veterinary Hospital and Grafton Animal Care Center get prompt, clear answers with comprehensive veterinary diagnostics — including pet X-rays, dog ultrasounds, and cat ultrasounds — to identify health issues.
Comprehensive Veterinary Diagnostics and Imaging
Our hospital is equipped with modern diagnostic technology, designed to give you peace of mind and provide your pet with the best possible care. From routine pet blood testing to detailed veterinary radiology and pet imaging, we use advanced tools to evaluate your pet’s internal health safely and efficiently.
These services allow our veterinarians to assess internal organs, bones, and soft tissues without invasive procedures — helping us detect illness, injury, or abnormalities early on, when treatment is most effective.
How We Diagnose and Monitor Your Pet’s Health
At Fairmont Veterinary Hospital and Grafton Animal Care Center, our on-site laboratory allows for same-day pet blood testing and urinalysis, which are invaluable for detecting infections, organ dysfunction, or underlying diseases. These fast, accurate results enable our team to make timely and informed medical decisions.
We also use digital pet X-rays and vet ultrasound technology for precise internal imaging. Radiographs help visualize bones and joints, while ultrasound offers real-time imaging of organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. Whether your pet needs a dog ultrasound for abdominal screening or a cat ultrasound to evaluate internal conditions, our skilled team performs every test with care and expertise.
Why Pet Diagnostics Are Essential
Veterinary diagnostics are the foundation of effective medicine. Many health issues — from infections and organ disease to fractures and tumors — can’t be detected through a physical exam alone. Pet blood testing and pet imaging help us see what’s happening inside your pet’s body, often before outward symptoms appear.
Early diagnosis allows for prompt treatment, less invasive procedures, and better outcomes. By integrating veterinary radiology and laboratory testing into every aspect of our care, we ensure your pet receives the most accurate and personalized treatment possible.

FAQs
Does my pet need sedation for X-rays or an ultrasound?
In most cases, sedation isn’t necessary for pet X-rays or vet ultrasounds, but it may be recommended for anxious pets or complex imaging to keep them calm and still.
How long do lab results take?
Many of our pet blood tests and screenings are processed in-house within hours. For more specialized tests, we partner with external labs for results in one to three days.
What’s the difference between X-rays and ultrasound?
Pet X-rays use digital imaging to capture detailed pictures of bones and dense structures, while dog and cat ultrasounds use sound waves to examine organs and soft tissues in motion.
