Diagnostics — Mobile Vet Jacksonville & St. Johns County
A full veterinary lab, parked outside your door.
Bloodwork and lab panels run on board our mobile hospital during your visit — not boxed up and couriered to an outside facility. Most results are ready before we leave your driveway.
Results in minutes
Quick Answer
A full diagnostic laboratory on site means blood panels, urinalysis, and parasite testing are processed inside the mobile veterinary hospital during your appointment, rather than sent to a third-party lab. For pet owners across Jacksonville and St. Johns County, that usually turns a multi-day wait for results into a same-visit answer.
How on-site lab testing works
Because the laboratory travels with the veterinarian, the distance between a sample and an answer is measured in minutes.
A sample is collected
Blood, urine, or a fecal sample is taken during the visit — often the same appointment where the concern first came up.
It runs on board
In-house analysers process the sample inside the mobile hospital, with no courier and no external lab schedule to wait on.
Results reviewed together
Veterinarian walks you through what the numbers mean and what happens next, usually within the same appointment.

Common questions about in-house lab testing
What on-site veterinary laboratory testing involves, and how quickly you get answers.
For the panels we run in-house, yes — the analysers are the same category used in traditional clinics. A small number of highly specialised tests still go to an external reference lab, and we tell you plainly when that is the case.
Most in-house panels are ready within the same appointment. That is the whole reason the laboratory travels with us rather than sitting in a building across town.
No. Diagnostic testing is built into wellness exams and sick visits rather than being its own appointment type.
Every tier includes annual screening; Plus adds basic panels and Premier adds expanded comprehensive testing. Compare them on the Wellness Plans page.
