Lab Diagnostics & Imaging For Pets

Because pets can’t tell us what hurts, high-quality diagnostics are essential for identifying illness, assessing injuries, and creating effective treatment plans. At Desert Paws Mobile Veterinary Care, we combine hands-on evaluation with advanced lab testing and imaging to get clear answers—right from the comfort of your home.

Our mobile diagnostic capabilities allow us to quickly evaluate your pet’s health, detect disease earlier, and begin appropriate treatment without the stress of a traditional clinic visit.

Limping or pain
