On-Site Laboratory & Pharmacy

Wilkes County Veterinary Servies offers our clients the convenience of not only an on-site laboratory, but also an on site pharmacy. Having an on-site laboratory and pharmacy at your veterinary clinic can significantly enhance the quality of care received and help your pet heal better.

Here's why this is important to your pet's well-being:

• Faster Diagnosis: With an on-site laboratory, our veterinarians can perform diagnostic tests quickly. This means your pet can receive a diagnosis promptly, allowing for early intervention and treatment. Faster diagnosis leads to faster relief from symptoms and a quicker path to recovery.
• Immediate Treatment: An on-site pharmacy means that medications and treatments prescribed by the veterinarian can be obtained without delay. This is crucial for managing acute conditions or emergencies where time is of the essence. Immediate access to medications ensures that your pet can start their treatment regimen promptly, improving their chances of a speedy recovery.
• Tailored Treatment Plans: Having access to an on-site laboratory allows our veterinarians to tailor treatment plans specifically to your pet's needs. Test results can provide valuable information about your pet's condition, allowing veterinarians to adjust medications and therapies accordingly. This personalized approach maximizes the effectiveness of treatment and minimizes the risk of adverse reactions or complications.
• Continuity of Care: Having an on-site laboratory and pharmacy fosters continuity of care for your pet. The veterinary team has access to your pet's medical history and test results in real-time, allowing for seamless communication and coordination of care. This ensures that all members of the veterinary team are on the same page regarding your pet's condition and treatment plan.
• Convenience: An on-site laboratory and pharmacy offer convenience for pet owners, eliminating the need to visit multiple locations to obtain diagnostic test results or fill prescriptions. This streamlines the veterinary care process, making it easier for pet owners to follow through with recommended treatments and medications. Convenience leads to better compliance with treatment plans, ultimately resulting in improved outcomes for your pet.

An on-site laboratory and pharmacy play a crucial role in veterinary care by facilitating faster diagnosis, immediate treatment, tailored treatment plans, convenience for pet owners, continuity of care, and monitoring of your pet's response to treatment. By investing in these resources, veterinary clinics can provide comprehensive and effective care that helps your pet heal better and enjoy a higher quality of life.
