Veterinary Diagnostics & Radiology for Pet Wellness
Routine veterinary diagnostics benefit pets of all ages—from puppies and kittens to senior companions. Our team selects the most appropriate tests to monitor their health and catch potential issues early.
Starting strong: early screenings for lifelong health
Just like us, adult dogs and cats benefit from regular wellness screens—even when they seem perfectly healthy. Annual veterinary bloodwork and radiology for dogs and cats allow us to detect early signs of disease (e.g., kidney or liver issues, dental issues) and personalize your pet’s care.
Common pet bloodwork for puppies and kittens:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Blood chemistry panel
- Fecalysis for detecting intestinal parasites
- Heartworm antigen testing for puppies
- FeLV/FIV testing for kittens
Routine labs = early detection = peace of mind
Just like us, adult dogs and cats benefit from regular wellness screens—even when they seem perfectly healthy. Annual veterinary bloodwork and radiology for dogs and cats allow us to detect early signs of disease (e.g., kidney or liver issues, dental issues) and personalize your pet’s care.
Recommended annual pet bloodwork for adult pets:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Blood chemistry panel
- Urinalysis
- Heartworm antigen testing
- Tick-borne disease panel (as needed)
Possible Addition:
- Dental X-ray for dogs and cats
As pets age, their care needs evolve—so should their lab work.
Aging can bring challenges to your pet’s health, even before any symptoms appear. Therefore, senior dogs and cats (generally 7+ years old) benefit from frequent and comprehensive pet diagnostics.
This helps catch health issues early, allowing us to optimize your pet’s lifestyle, diet, or treatment plan to boost their health and longevity.
Senior pet screening often includes:
- Complete blood chemistry panel
- Urinalysis
- Heartworm antigen testing
- Tick-borne disease panel (as needed)
- Thyroid testing (especially for cats)
- Additional diagnostics based on clinical signs
Possible Addition:
- Dental X-ray for dogs and cats
Vaccinations
Ensure that your pet is at their healthiest and happiest with routine check-ups! Routine check-ups for pets are also known as dog wellness checks or cat wellness exams.
These exams generally include:
- A comprehensive snout-to-tail physical exam
- A discussion about the dog’s or cat’s nutrition, behaviors, exercise, and any existing health conditions
- Lab work: blood work, urinalysis, fecalysis, x-ray (done at Sploot’s in-house lab)
After getting a cat or dog wellness check, you will get a comprehensive understanding of your pet’s overall health and needs.
Routine Check-Ups
Strengthen your pet’s immune system and abide by regional ordinances by maintaining updated pet vaccinations.
Core vaccinations are recommended for all dogs or cats while non-core vaccinations are recommended by veterinarians based on lifestyle, travel plans, area of residence, and other specific factors.
Important Note: Certain feline diseases that are preventable with vaccines are lifelong if the kitten contracts them. Furthermore, puppies and kittens have developing immune systems, making them vulnerable to various pathogens. We encourage timely initial vaccination for all pets.
Parasite Prevention in Pets
Parasites, whether internal or external, burden a pet’s health — the good news is that preventive veterinary medicine keeps parasites at bay!
Our vets will provide preventive measures that will keep your pet free of external parasites like ticks and fleas which can cause itching, tick-borne diseases (e.g. Lyme disease), flea-borne tapeworm, and flea allergies.
Our pet wellness clinic also gives guidance on internal parasite prevention, matching your dog or cat to the best-suited preventative for intestinal worms and mosquito-borne heartworms.
Dental Care
Ensure your pet's well-being and quality of life with regular pet dental care. This procedure offers more than just bright smiles and fresher breath, it also helps prevent dental issues in dogs and cats that can cause pain, discomfort, or loss of teeth.

Pet Diagnostic Services for Dogs & Cats in Denver, Colorado Springs, & Chicago
"What a great experience! We were floored with our first visit. A refreshingly modern and pup-first approach to pet care. Dr Jake was a dog whisperer in getting our sometimes (okay always) ornery Bernedoodle to relax for a shot...The digital scheduling and billing makes logistics a cinch- will be recommending Sploot to all of our pup Scout’s friends!"
"The most friendly staff, beautiful facilities, I know that my labradoodle is in the best hands!"
My pup Theo had a great experience at Sploot! Dr. Alexa and Dr. Jake were super nice and put Theo at ease right away (he doesn't love vets). Their convenient hours made it incredibly easy for me to go after work - and plus, the beautifully designed clinic made going to the vet a totally different experience for me and Theo! He really enjoyed choosing from the treat / toy / sunglasses bar and walked away a happy pup.
