Diagnostics & Imaging

Advanced diagnostics like bloodwork, X-rays, and ultrasound help us catch issues early and treat them quickly.

Diagnostics & Imaging: Getting Answers, Guiding Better Care
When your pet isn’t feeling their best—or when something just seems “off”—diagnostics and imaging help us find the answers quickly and accurately. These tools allow veterinarians to see what’s happening inside your pet’s body without invasive procedures, making it easier to diagnose
illnesses, monitor ongoing conditions, and plan effective treatments.

Why Are Diagnostics Important?

Pets can’t tell us what’s wrong, and early signs of illness are often subtle. Advanced diagnostics help us catch problems early—when they’re most treatable—and ensure we’re not guessing when it comes to your pet’s health.

Whether it’s a routine wellness check or something more urgent, in-house diagnostics give your veterinarian a clearer picture of your pet’s internal health.

FAQs

Answers to your top FAQs on veterinary care.

These procedures are priced according to species, size/weight, and any special circumstances such as cryptorchidism in males and pregnancy or pyometra in females. If you have yet to establish care, please schedule an appointment to discuss this with a veterinarian. If your patient has already been seen by a veterinarian, please ask one of our client service representatives for an estimate. The estimate will include the surgery, anesthesia, pre-op bloodwork, and any medications to go home.

Without examining your pet, we cannot be sure. Some spay/neuter facilities do not use the green line tattoo. Some male dogs have undescended testicles, a condition called cryptorchidism. Some female dogs may have a scar on their abdomen from a cesarean section or other abdominal procedure other than a spay. When you bring in your pet to establish care, we can discuss any diagnostics that can aid in determining their status.

This depends on factors such as the age, size, and sensitivity of the patient. These concerns will be addressed by the veterinarian prior to scheduling the procedure so that a specialized plan can be made for your pet.

We recommend making an appointment to establish care with a veterinarian, and we will review the records from the shelter to determine what vaccinations, parasite control and prevention, etc., may still be needed.

You may bring the stray dog or cat in for us to scan for a microchip, but we do not take in strays, and we will direct you to the Regional Animal Services of King County.

We do not offer payment plans, and payment is due when services are provided. However, we provide estimates for all of our services and work hard to develop treatment plans that work within your budget. We accept all major credit cards, and we also accept CareCredit and Scratch which are third-party financing options. We are also happy to direct you to financial aid resources and low-cost programs based in the Seattle area.
