Although many of the same conditions that affect people are common in dogs, not every sickness or injury may be readily identified on the skin’s surface or even through a thorough external examination. Our physicians must be able to examine your pet on the inside to obtain an accurate and prompt diagnosis. That’s where veterinary diagnostic tools come into play. Veterinary ultrasonic equipment, scans, and other tools allow us to peer beyond the surface and see what’s going on inside your dog’s body so that we may identify and treat the condition promptly. The sooner we can obtain a firm diagnosis, the higher the chances of success.

To help our patients get the best outcomes, Vineyard Veterinary Hospital provides them with access to various advanced diagnostic tests. We have some of the most up-to-date diagnostic equipment available, including digital and regular radiology (x-ray) machines, ultrasound, and computerized electrocardiogram (ECG). Furthermore, our own laboratory allows us to rapidly evaluate patients needing immediate treatment, with results being ready in minutes. This is especially significant in times of crisis and in serious medical issues or injuries that require immediate attention.
