Fast, Thorough Analysis to Better Serve Your Pet

Making the right treatment choices for your pet starts with knowing what’s happening. At Animal Hospital of Dauphin County, we have an on-site laboratory to quickly analyze tissue samples and better understand exactly what is happening to your pet. These tests are crucial to an accurate diagnosis. However, most veterinary clinics don’t have them on-site, meaning results can take days to obtain.

Call (717) 652-1270 now to meet with our friendly veterinarians and staff.

Tests We Can Perform

Our veterinarians use blood tests and other laboratory work to better assess your pet’s health. These blood tests give us a baseline of what is normal for your pet. Blood tests are very valuable in the early detection of diseases. Studies have shown that 25 percent of dogs and cats over the age of 10 have a treatable disease that is not causing symptoms.

Subtle changes in these tests over time may signal the presence of underlying disease. We recommend that dogs have blood testing done at seven years of age and cats at eight. Older pets may have these tests routinely repeated.

By making regular visits to the vet and undergoing screenings and wellness exams, you can feel confident that your pet will be disease-free. With more than half a century in practice, we know what irregularities to look for and what they mean.

Other tests we offer include:

Rebekah Hanak

We looked everywhere for a vet to have a look at my very sick mouse and Dauphin County Animal Hospital was the only one who would see her on a Saturday. The front desk was fast and they were very friendly. We saw Dr. Balmer and she was amazing. I recommend this place 100% and will take all my mice/other pocket pets here if they need vet care in the future!

Wally and I had a great experience. As a first time cat owner, I had a lot of questions. They answered all my questions and made my little man feel comfortable at his first visit!Thanks!!

Deb Ash

The vets here are wonderful and they will tell you like it is and not sugarcoat the issues with your pet. Been coming here for years and it is always easy to get an appointment at either of their locations

Jan Ritter

Every vet and every technician has seemed to love our cats. Amanda and Dr. Sarsfield, especially! We participated in a clinical trial, for which we hope the compensation may help with future expenses. Each vet has vast experience and are so caring! Amanda always wants to be available to clip our kitties' claws!
