At Cook Veterinary Hospital, we know that pets can’t tell us when something’s wrong—which is why lab testing and diagnostics are such an important part of their care. While a physical exam gives us valuable information, diagnostics help us see what’s happening beneath the surface.

Our hospital is equipped with advanced laboratory tools and diagnostic technology that help us quickly and accurately assess your pet’s health. From routine blood work to more complex imaging, we’re committed to providing fast answers and effective care when your pet needs it most.

Some of the diagnostic services we offer include:

Complete Blood Counts (CBCs) – to detect infections, anemia, or even certain cancers
Blood Chemistry Panels – to monitor organ function and spot issues with the liver, kidneys, or pancreas
Urinalysis – to identify urinary tract infections, kidney disease, or signs of diabetes
Fecal Exams – to check for parasites or digestive infections
Digital Radiography & Ultrasound – to examine internal organs, detect tumors, or diagnose injuries

These tools allow us to catch problems early, tailor treatment plans to your pet’s specific needs, and monitor their progress over time. Our goal is to keep your furry friend feeling their best—and give you peace of mind, knowing you’re getting clear answers and compassionate support.

If you have questions about our diagnostic capabilities or your pet’s health, we’re here to help. Together, we can ensure your pet enjoys a long, healthy, and happy life.

At Cook Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to offer advanced ultrasound imaging to help us better understand your pet’s health, from the inside out. Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive, and pain-free diagnostic tool that allows us to examine your pet’s internal organs in real time, without the need for surgery or extensive recovery.

Ultrasound is especially helpful when we need a closer look at soft tissues that don’t show up clearly on X-rays. It’s commonly used to evaluate the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and reproductive organs. Whether we’re checking for internal abnormalities like tumors or inflammation, monitoring a pregnancy, or diagnosing conditions such as heart disease or urinary issues, an ultrasound gives us a clear and detailed view.

In many cases, ultrasound helps us:

Detect and evaluate masses or tumors
Diagnose liver, kidney, or heart conditions
Identify bladder stones or infections
Confirm and monitor pregnancies
Guide needle biopsies safely and precisely

Most pets tolerate the procedure very well, and in most cases, no anesthesia is required, keeping the process stress-free and low risk. Our ultrasounds are performed in-house and, when needed, in collaboration with a board-certified internist to ensure the highest level of care and expertise.

With ultrasound, we’re able to make informed decisions and create personalized treatment plans tailored to your pet’s needs, all with the goal of helping them feel better, faster.

If you think your pet may benefit from an ultrasound or you'd like to learn more, we're happy to answer your questions.

Acupuncture is an ancient practice that has been used for thousands of years to promote health and relieve pain—and today, it offers a gentle, drug-free option for our pets’ well-being. At Cook Veterinary Hospital, our veterinarians use acupuncture to help manage pain, support healing, and improve overall health in a safe and natural way.

This treatment involves placing tiny, flexible needles at specific points on your pet’s body, where nerves and blood vessels come together. These points stimulate the release of endorphins, your pet’s natural painkillers, and encourage increased blood flow and oxygen to the area. This helps reduce inflammation, flush out toxins, and support the body’s natural healing process.

Pet acupuncture can be beneficial for a wide variety of conditions, including:

Musculoskeletal issues like arthritis and joint pain
Respiratory problems
Behavioral challenges

One of the greatest advantages of acupuncture is that it offers long-lasting pain relief without relying solely on medications. It can be used alone or alongside other treatments, providing a holistic approach tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

During sessions, many pets enter a calm, relaxed state—and some even drift off to sleep, enjoying the soothing effects of the therapy.

By embracing this time-honored practice, we help your furry friend find balance, comfort, and improved quality of life naturally.

If you’re interested in learning more about pet acupuncture and whether it’s right for your companion, we’d love to chat with you.

At Cook Veterinary Hospital, we believe in treating the whole pet—not just the symptoms. Pet Chinese medicine offers a time-tested, holistic approach to healing that focuses on restoring balance and harmony within the body to support long-term health and well-being.

Rooted in ancient Eastern traditions, Chinese veterinary medicine uses natural therapies to help pets feel their best, especially when dealing with chronic or complex conditions. For pets who haven’t found relief through conventional treatments alone, Chinese medicine can open the door to new, gentle options for healing.

Our veterinarians often use Chinese herbs to manage conditions such as:

Chronic skin or gastrointestinal issues
Incontinence
Age-related weakness or fatigue

These herbal formulas are carefully selected to work with your pet’s individual needs and may be used on their own or alongside modern treatments to enhance effectiveness and comfort.

In addition to herbal therapy, Chinese medicine may include:

Acupuncture – stimulating energy pathways to relieve pain and restore balance
Acupressure – using gentle touch to activate healing points on the body
Dietary therapy – selecting foods that support your pet’s specific health needs

As with any medical care, it’s essential that these therapies are guided by a trained and licensed veterinarian. Our team is here to create a personalized, integrative treatment plan designed to support your pet’s unique journey to wellness.

With pet Chinese medicine, we can tap into ancient wisdom to offer modern pets natural, supportive care—helping them live more comfortably, vibrantly, and in balance.

Just like people, pets benefit from regular checkups. During your pet’s wellness exam, our veterinary team will perform a thorough nose-to-tail physical exam, check for early signs of illness, and talk with you about your pet’s overall health, nutrition, behavior, and lifestyle.

Vaccinations are a key part of preventive care, protecting your pet from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases such as:

Rabies
Distemper
Parvovirus
Feline leukemia
And other region-specific illnesses

Your pet’s vaccine schedule will be tailored based on their age, health status, environment, and risk of exposure. We’ll work with you to develop a wellness care plan that fits your pet’s unique needs and ensures they’re protected.

Just like us, our pets can suffer from dental problems that affect not only their mouth but their overall health and comfort. At Cook Veterinary Hospital, we take pet dentistry seriously—because a healthy smile means a healthier, happier life for your furry companion.

Regular dental care is key to preventing common issues like:

Gum disease (periodontal disease)
Tooth decay
Infections and inflammation
Bad breath

During your pet’s dental exam, our veterinarians carefully check for signs of plaque, tartar buildup, gum inflammation, and any abnormalities. If needed, we’ll recommend a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar—including below the gum line—where bacteria can hide and cause damage.

In some cases, pets may need more advanced dental care, such as tooth extractions, treatment for fractured teeth, or even root canal therapy. These procedures help relieve pain and prevent further complications, improving your pet’s comfort and quality of life.

You also play an important role at home! We’ll guide you on how to support your pet’s oral health with:
