Pet Diagnostics For North Palm Beach
Clear, early insights for your pet’s wellbeing
Hello, North Palm Beach pet families! When your dog or cat needs real answers — not uncertainty — Gardens Animal Hospital is here with compassionate care, modern diagnostics, and a welcoming team. We believe that timely, precise testing is essential to helping your four-legged family member stay healthy, comfortable, and thriving.
Why Gardens Animal Hospital is a great choice for diagnostics
- Advanced diagnostics, all done in-house
Our hospital is equipped with modern technology — including dual digital X-ray systems, full-mouth dental radiography, ultrasound, access to radiologist consultations, dual CBC analyzers, chemistry panels, EKG and echocardiogram capability, blood pressure monitoring, digital cytology, and more. Because we perform so much onsite, your pet avoids long waits, and we can often provide same-day answers. - Fast, precise results lead to better care
When we can pinpoint a problem quickly, we can treat it quickly. Whether we’re detecting early kidney changes or uncovering subtle fractures, our diagnostic tools help us find the true source of the issue with minimal delay. - Convenience and continuity in one place
Instead of sending samples elsewhere, our full in-house lab keeps your pet’s visit simple, efficient, and stress-free. With fewer hand-offs, your pet stays comfortable — and one dedicated team oversees every step. - Knowledge, clarity, and genuine care
Our veterinarians understand that diagnostics are only as meaningful as the interpretation behind them. We consider your pet’s age, habits, and unique personality when reviewing results, and we take time to explain what each test means and why it matters. - Proud to care for North Palm Beach pets
North Palm Beach families are part of our community, and we’re dedicated to providing warm, reliable, and accessible care with 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.
What to expect during your visit
