Comprehensive Diagnostic Care
Veterinary diagnostics are an essential part of modern pet healthcare. From detecting infections and internal disease to evaluating injuries and chronic conditions, diagnostic testing allows us to look beneath the surface and understand what’s truly happening with your pet’s health. Our team combines medical expertise with advanced technology to deliver reliable results for cats and dogs in Shoreline and the greater Seattle area.
In-House Laboratory Services
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform critical testing right here in our hospital, providing same-day results in many cases. Fast, accurate lab testing means we can diagnose conditions sooner and begin treatment right away when your pet needs it most.
Common in-house diagnostics include:
Bloodwork
Detecting infections, anemia, organ function changes, and more
Urinalysis
Identifying urinary tract infections, kidney disease, or diabetes
Fecal Exams
Detecting intestinal parasites that may cause illness in pets or pose risks to families
Cytology and Other Tests

Veterinary Imaging
Diagnostic imaging gives us a clearer picture of your pet’s internal health without invasive procedures. At Shoreline Veterinary Hospital, we use modern imaging tools to evaluate bones, organs, and soft tissues, providing vital insights that guide diagnosis and treatment.
Radiology (Pet X-Rays)
Digital radiology allows us to capture detailed images of bones and internal structures quickly and safely. Pet X-rays are invaluable for diagnosing fractures, joint disease, foreign bodies, heart conditions, and more. With digital technology, images are clearer, and results are available faster than traditional film X-rays.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. This non-invasive tool helps us assess the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and abdominal structures. It’s especially useful for detecting fluid, masses, or pregnancy. Our veterinarians use ultrasound to provide a more complete picture when physical exams and lab tests don’t tell the whole story.
Clear Answers for Better Pet Health
Accurate diagnostics are the foundation of effective veterinary care. At Shoreline Veterinary Hospital, our team combines years of clinical experience with advanced tools, including in-house lab testing, digital X-rays, and ultrasound, to provide fast and reliable results for dogs and cats. This proactive approach allows us to detect illness earlier, guide treatment with confidence, and support your pet’s overall well-being.
