Diagnostics

The Connecting Link Between the Cause and the Cure

At Kelowna Veterinary Hospital, we offer a full suite of diagnostic services designed to identify health concerns early and accurately—because catching problems before they progress is key to successful treatment. With our advanced in-house laboratory, digital radiography, and affordable ultrasound capabilities, we’re able to provide thorough, timely diagnoses and peace of mind for pet parents.

Comprehensive Blood Panels

– From $195

Blood tests are a cornerstone of preventative care and essential for monitoring existing conditions. They help us assess internal organ function, detect infections, and screen for diseases like diabetes, thyroid imbalance, or anemia.

Ideal for senior pets, pets on medication, or those with chronic conditions
Fast, accurate in-house processing
Used pre-surgery to ensure safe anesthesia

Urinalysis

– From $65

Urine testing helps us identify:

Urinary tract infections
Kidney disease
Diabetes
Crystals or bladder stones

This simple, non-invasive test provides powerful insights into your pet’s health—especially when they’re showing signs like increased urination, accidents, or excessive thirst.

Fecal Analysis

– From $44

Fecal testing allows us to screen for:

Internal parasites (worms, giardia)
Abnormal bacteria
Inflammation in the digestive tract

We recommend fecal exams as part of regular preventive care, especially for outdoor pets, puppies, kittens, or pets with gastrointestinal symptoms.

X-Ray Imaging

– From $262

Digital radiographs provide a clear look at your pet’s bones, joints, and internal organs. We use them to diagnose:

Fractures or injuries
Arthritis and joint concerns
Lung or heart abnormalities
Foreign body ingestion
Tumors or abdominal masses

Sedation may be used to help your pet stay still for the clearest, most accurate images.

Ultrasound

– From $595

Ultrasound offers a real-time view of your pet’s soft tissues and organs—providing essential insight for:

Heart and abdominal evaluations
Tumor or cyst identification
Bladder and kidney assessments
Fluid accumulation or abnormal organ size

This is a non-invasive, pain-free diagnostic that gives us an incredibly detailed look without surgery. Our ultrasound services are priced significantly lower than many specialty clinics in the area, making this powerful diagnostic more accessible to our community.
