Laboratory

At Exeter Vets we feel your pet deserves the same quality of blood testing and diagnostic work that you do, possibly even better!

Fortunately, we have close links with a rapid, high-quality couriered Veterinary Laboratory service and the most up-to-date technology to test samples in-house, allowing us to give you your pet’s test results quickly.

Your pet’s samples will be analysed in a world class Veterinary Laboratory with next day results for most routine samples or the same day if we are testing in-house, some as quickly as 20 minutes.  If a test is unavailable in the UK, your pet’s sample may travel further than you realised.

In case of emergencies seen at Exeter Veterinary Surgery before midday, priority samples can be reported on the same day.

This amazing service is all in addition to the state of the art analysers in the Practice.

 

FAQs

If you have any questions or queries on how to look after your pet just give us a call or pop into the surgery and our staff will be happy to help.

If you find a pet, such as a dog or cat, we are happy to scan them for a microchip for you at no cost. We can then assist in contacting the owner if the animal’s chip details are up to date. In the event of stray animals, the Dog Warden at Exeter Council should be contacted.

If the animal is a wild animal, especially a young animal please leave it alone for 24 hours. This is in accordance with RSPCA Guidelines. Young animals are likely to have their parents nearby waiting to assist them once you are gone. By all means keep tabs on them and if you are still concerned after 24 hours please give the RSPCA a call.
