Pet diagnostic tests are how we see what is happening inside our animals before small problems become serious. From blood and urine to stool analysis, the right test at the right time can protect your pet's health and your peace of mind.
This 2026 guide from Animal Analytics — a trusted pet pathology lab in Kolkata since 2014 — explains the main pet diagnostic tests, when each is needed, and how to get them done at home across Kolkata and West Bengal.
The three core pet diagnostic tests
Most pet investigations begin with one or more of these three tests.
- Blood tests: CBC and biochemistry reveal infection, anaemia, organ function and more.
- Urine tests: detect urinary infections, kidney issues, crystals and diabetes indicators.
- Stool tests: identify worms, parasites and digestive problems.
Pet blood tests explained
Blood tests are the foundation of pet diagnostics.
- CBC (Complete Blood Count): infection, anaemia, inflammation and platelets.
- Biochemistry: liver, kidney, glucose, proteins and electrolytes.
- Tick-fever panel: Ehrlichia, Anaplasma and Babesia.
- Serology: parvovirus, distemper, FIV/FeLV and other infections.
- Thyroid and hormonal tests where indicated.
Pet urine and stool tests explained
These simple tests provide powerful insights into your pet's health.
- Urine routine examination: detects infection, blood, crystals and protein.
- Urine culture: identifies the exact bacteria behind a urinary infection.
- Stool routine: detects worms, parasite eggs and protozoa.
- Stool culture: for persistent digestive infections.
When does a pet need diagnostic tests?
Watch for these signs and consult your vet about testing:
- Changes in appetite, weight, energy or behaviour.
- Vomiting, diarrhoea or constipation.
- Excessive thirst or frequent urination.
- Coat, skin or eye changes, or visible lumps.
- Before surgery, vaccination concerns, or for annual checkups.
- Senior pets, for early detection of age-related disease.
