Fast Results, Real Peace of Mind
At the Oxford Vet Clinic, we know that waiting for test results can be one of the most stressful parts of caring for a sick or injured pet. That’s why we’ve invested in a comprehensive in-house laboratory, equipped with modern diagnostic technology to deliver fast, reliable results.
Our in-house machines allow us to carry out the majority of routine blood tests on the same day, with results typically available within 48-72 hours. This rapid turnaround means our vets can diagnose conditions and begin treatment quickly, giving you clarity and peace of mind when it matters most.
When more specialised testing is required, samples are couriered the same day to our trusted external laboratory partners, ensuring minimal disruption and a seamless process from start to finish.
Our goal is simple: to combine speed, accuracy, and compassion so you and your pet receive answers – and care – as quickly as possible.
