In-House Laboratory

Metropolitan Veterinary Center has the capability to perform various blood tests, pre-anesthetic bloodwork, and other types of testing on-site in Chicago instead of sending samples to an outside lab. This saves time and most importantly, you don’t have to wait overnight for results—meaning your pet gets a diagnosis and needed treatment sooner.

Pet Testing We Provide

Testing provided in the hospital includes:

Chemistry Panels:

  • Liver enzyme screening
  • Pancreatic evaluation
  • Renal (Kidney) profiles

Wellness Screenings:

  • Complete blood counts
  • General chemistries
  • Urinalysis
  • Fecal testing (parasites)
  • Blood pressure

 Viral Screenings:

  • FelV, FIV in cats
  • Parvovirus in dogs

While we do offer an extensive range of on-site testing, it is possible that your pet may need laboratory work beyond our scope. For those cases, we are happy to send blood work or other testing to an outside lab that will send results back to us.
