Veterinary Laboratory Services in Peyton, CO

Welcome to Falcon Family Vet, where our laboratory services help us diagnose and monitor pets in Peyton, Falcon, and the surrounding areas quickly and accurately.

Understanding Veterinary Laboratory Services

Because our pets cannot tell us how they feel, diagnostic imaging and laboratory testing are crucial to understanding their health. At Falcon Family Vet, we don’t just offer advanced diagnostic tests; we carefully choose the tests that best fit your pet’s unique needs.

A faster diagnosis means a faster recovery. We perform diagnostic testing both in-house and through a trusted outside laboratory, so we can deliver results as quickly as possible. Our tests include blood tests, urine tests, fecal tests, and parasite tests, and we pair lab work with imaging such as digital X-rays and ultrasound when needed.

In-House and Reference Lab Testing

Clear Explanation of Results

We review results with you and explain what they mean for your pet’s care and treatment.

Why Lab Testing Is Important for Your Pet

Laboratory testing gives us a look inside your pet’s body that a physical exam alone cannot. It helps us diagnose illness, monitor ongoing conditions, and keep healthy pets healthy.

Detects Hidden Problems

Lab work can reveal infections, organ problems, and parasites before your pet shows symptoms.

Guides Treatment

Accurate results help us choose the most effective treatment for your pet.

Monitors Ongoing Health

Regular testing helps us track chronic conditions and medication safety over time.

Signs Your Pet May Need Lab Work

Your veterinarian may recommend lab testing if your pet:

  • Has vomiting, diarrhea, or a poor appetite
  • Is drinking or urinating more than usual
  • Seems tired or less active
  • Is preparing for anesthesia or surgery
  • Is a senior or takes long-term medication

If you have concerns about your pet’s health, contact Falcon Family Vet. Testing can help us find answers.

How Often Should Your Pet Have Lab Work?

Most pets benefit from wellness blood work and fecal testing as part of their regular checkups, with fecal testing twice a year. Senior pets and pets on long-term medications may need testing more often. Our veterinarians will recommend a testing schedule that fits your pet.
