Pet Diagnostics For North Palm Beach
Your pet’s health, discovered early and clearly
Welcome, North Palm Beach pet parents! When your dog or cat needs answers—not guesswork—Gardens Animal Hospital is here to help with warm hands, advanced tools, and a friendly approach. We believe that full, fast, and accurate diagnostics are key to keeping your four-legged family member healthy, happy, and thriving.
Why Gardens Animal Hospital is a great choice for diagnostics
- In-house, state-of-the-art equipment
We’ve invested in two digital X-ray machines, full-mouth digital dental X-rays, ultrasound, radiologist consultations, dual CBC analyzers, chemistry analyzers, EKG/echo cardiogram capability, blood pressure monitoring, digital cytology, and more. This helps us avoid long waits or outsourcing — we can often get results the same day. - Speed + precision = better outcomes
The faster we identify what’s going on under the surface, the quicker we can treat it. Whether it’s catching kidney disease early or spotting hidden fracture lines, our diagnostics help us zero in on the root cause with as little delay as possible. - All under one roof
Many practices send samples off-site, but with our full lab on-site, we streamline your pet’s experience. That means fewer transfers, less stress for your pet, and cohesive care from one team who knows your pet’s history. - Expertise + compassion
Our veterinarians know that diagnostic testing isn’t just about machines — it’s about interpreting results in the context of your pet’s lifestyle, age, and quirks. We’ll walk you through the “why” behind each test and guide you toward the best next steps. - We serve your neighborhood
North Palm Beach is right in our service area. We’re committed to building trust with pet families here — offering quality, accessibility, and warmth in every visit.

Diagnostic testing during different life stages and situations
Puppies & Kittens
From day one, we want to set your new pet up for success. We perform a full blood panel plus stool sample to check for parasites, worms, or imbalances. It’s surprising how common some of these issues are — even in indoor pets — so early testing is critical.
Adult Dogs & Cats
During annual wellness exams, we combine a hands-on check (coat, eyes, joints, heart, etc.) with diagnostics like stool tests, urinalysis, blood work, and sometimes vaccine titer testing. These help us catch hidden issues early and guide preventative care for the coming year.
“Sick” Visits
When your pet isn’t acting right — lethargic, limping, refusing food, odd bathroom habits — we often pair the physical exam with imaging (X-ray, ultrasound) and lab work to identify the cause. It may be blockage, organ issues, fractures, or other hidden pathology.
We also run diagnostics proactively before anesthesia or dental procedures to ensure your pet is in safe shape for the stress of surgery.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Does pet insurance cover diagnostic tests?
What are routine pet diagnostic tests?
Why would my pet need diagnostic tests?
- To identify the cause of odd symptoms like weight loss, lethargy, or blood in urine/stool
- Before anesthetic or dental procedures, to make sure your pet is a safe candidate
- To detect hidden issues like urinary stones, masses, fractures, arthritis, gastrointestinal disease, or organ dysfunction
- To monitor chronic conditions over time
- Without diagnostics, many of these conditions go unnoticed until they become serious.
