Our own laboratory runs inside the hospital, so blood work, urinalysis and clotting tests come back in minutes instead of days.
Open 24/7 · No Appointment Needed
If your pet is vomiting, weak, not eating, drinking far more than usual, or may have swallowed a toxin, we need to see inside the bloodstream before we treat. Blood work tells us whether the kidneys, liver, blood sugar and red blood cell count are safe, and whether it is safe to sedate. We run it here, and most results are back within the hour.
Sending a sample to an outside laboratory takes a day or more. In an emergency, that is a day your pet does not have. Greenlight runs its own analyzers inside every hospital, so the doctor treating your pet reads the results while you are still in the room.
Most panels need only a few drops of blood, or a urine sample collected with ultrasound guidance.
The sample goes straight to our analyzers in the treatment area. Nothing is couriered anywhere.
A complete blood count and chemistry panel are usually back within the hour, often sooner.
The doctor shows you what is high, what is low, and what it changes about the plan.
These are the situations where our doctors order blood work before anything else.
Vomiting or diarrhea that has lasted more than a day
Not eating, hiding, or unusually weak or wobbly
Drinking and urinating far more than normal
Possible ingestion of a toxin, a medication or antifreeze
Pale, yellow or very red gums
Before sedation, anesthesia or emergency surgery
A known condition such as diabetes or kidney disease that may be flaring
An older pet that suddenly seems off with no obvious cause
A technician draws a small blood sample, usually from the neck or a front leg, and it takes less than a minute. Urine may be collected with a needle guided by ultrasound, which is faster and cleaner than waiting for your pet to go on their own. Samples go straight to the analyzers a few steps away. Most panels are back within the hour, and the doctor goes through the numbers with you before recommending anything.
Complete blood count, chemistry, electrolytes and clotting times, all run on site.
The laboratory does not close. Neither do we.
You get the actual values and what each one means, not just a verdict.
Real photos of the analyzers, the samples and the team running them.
Every test is quoted before it is run, and we tell you what each one is looking for.
You get a written estimate before treatment begins, and our team goes through it with you line by line.
We work with CareCredit, Cherry, Scratchpay, and Trupanion so that cost doesn’t get in the way of care.
