With our state-of-the art technology, we can find out what makes your pets tick and that they are ticking like they should! From X-rays, ultrasounds, heart health, and vision, we are equipped to care for your best friend's health.
Laboratory ServicesPetStar has the latest laboratory equipment to carry out a range of testing. This enables us to quickly provide you with answers to many of your pet’s problems. With the speed of in-office testing, we can more quickly diagnose your pet’s complication and begin treatment right away. When more complicated testing is necessary, it is sent overnight to IDEXX. Our reference lab efficiently delivers results via the Internet.
IDEXX VetLab Station
VetLab is a laboratory information management system with a user-friendly touch screen. It simplifies the flow and capture of laboratory work done on pets in our care. Patient results are integrated into a single report for easy access to a patient's historical results.
IDEXX Catalyst 1® Chemistry Analyzer
This speedy and thorough analyzer quickly places the results of chemistry panels in the veterinarian’s hands. This allows the PetStar team to manage cases more efficiently. The Catalyst 1 Analyzer connects to the IDEXX VetLab Station, a laboratory information management system that collects all results into an electronic medical record resulting in seamless interpretation.
IDEXX LaserCyte® Hematology Analyzer
The hematology analyzer provides comprehensive, real-time results, enabling the PetStar team to offer a higher standard of care. The LaserCyte analyzer provides our veterinarians with reference laboratory-quality complete blood counts (CBCs), including a true, five-part differential and reticulocyte count. This helps the veterinarian make better informed decisions more quickly so results can be shared during the visit.
IDEXX Coag Dx Analyzer
The Coag Dx Analyzer measures whole blood clotting times for both our canine and feline friends, allowing our veterinarians to detect common coagulation pathway disorders.

PetStar’s IDEXX TruDR X-ray technology produces industry leading digital images with a minimum amount of radiation exposure to your pet.

We can also have these results read by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist within 24 hours.
