In-House Laboratory
We are thrilled to announce that a generous donor has given HSNC the privilege of having our own in-house diagnostics lab! For years, we have been mailing out our labs and waiting sometimes days for results. It also means we can’t do a lot of same-day procedures, and pets and their parents have to come in for multiple appointments for one procedure. For the safety of patients, we also limit some of our services because we don’t have access to same-day results.
