Laboratory Test

At Hong Kong Pet Patrol (HKPP), our in-house diagnostic laboratory enables us to deliver accurate test results rapidly, ensuring prompt treatment during critical situations. This capability plays a vital role in providing quality veterinary care.

Laboratory testing offers essential insights into your pet’s health, helping our veterinarians make accurate diagnoses, monitor treatment progress, and ensure optimal care. Our fully equipped facility can perform blood tests, urine analyses, and other diagnostics, with many results available within minutes. For specialized tests beyond our scope, we collaborate with dedicated veterinary laboratories to ensure comprehensive care.

Our laboratory services include:

Hematology
Our advanced hematology tests analyse the cellular components in blood — red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets — and aid in diagnosing anemia, infections, and clotting disorders.

Biochemistry
Through our biochemistry tests, we thoroughly evaluate various substances in your pet’s blood, including liver enzymes, kidney function markers, glucose levels, and electrolyte balance. This aids in the early detection and management of organ diseases, diabetes, and imbalances in electrolytes.

Electrolytes
Our specialised electrolyte tests assess the levels of vital electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride in your pet’s blood. This analysis ensures the proper functioning of organs and helps maintain the ideal acid-base balance.

Urinalysis
Our comprehensive urinalysis examines the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of your pet’s urine, providing valuable insights into kidney function, urinary tract infections, and metabolic disorders.

Urine Culture and Sensitivity
In addition to routine urinalysis, we offer urine culture and sensitivity tests to identify and effectively treat urinary tract infections. This ensures optimal care and a speedy recovery for your pet.

Skin Allergy Test and Immunotherapy
Our specialised skin allergy tests help identify the specific allergens causing allergic reactions in your pet. Based on the test results, we develop tailor-made immunotherapy treatment plans to alleviate symptoms and improve your pet’s quality of life.

Genetic Profile (Dogs only)
Through our advanced genetic profiling, we can assess the risk of inherited disorders, determine breed ancestry, and guide breeding decisions, ensuring the overall health and well-being of your canine companion.

At Hong Kong Pet Patrol (HKPP), we recognize that every pet is unique. To provide the most personalized care, we offer an extensive range of specialized laboratory tests, including fecal examinations for parasite detection, cytology for detailed cellular analysis, coagulation profiles to assess clotting function, and thyroid tests to evaluate endocrine health.
