San Luis Obispo County

When something feels off with your pet or even when things seem fine, answers matter.

Because we're both a mobile and in-clinic practice, many of those answers can come to you without your pet ever leaving home.

Complete Laboratory Testing for San Luis Obispo County Pets

Vetama

From routine wellness screens to investigating a nagging concern, laboratory testing is one of the most powerful tools in veterinary medicine. Vetama offers comprehensive in-house and send-out diagnostics like:

  • Blood panels — complete blood counts (CBC), chemistry panels, thyroid levels, and more
  • Urinalysis — to evaluate kidney function, detect infection, assess hydration, and screen for diabetes
  • Fecal testing — to identify intestinal parasites, bacteria, and digestive issues

Our in-house lab means we can often get results quickly, right at our San Luis Obispo clinic. For cases that call for deeper analysis, we send samples to specialized external laboratories for more comprehensive diagnostics. No matter how complex the question, our veterinarians are equipped to find the answer.

At-Home Lab Draws

Our mobile veterinary team can come to your home anywhere in our San Luis Obispo County service area, draw your pet's blood sample in the comfort of a familiar environment, and bring it back to the clinic for processing. You get the same high-quality results without the stress for your pet or for you. The process is simple and only requires you to:

  1. Book a mobile lab draw — schedule online or give us a call
  2. We come to you — your pet stays calm and comfortable at home
  3. We handle the rest — samples are transported back to our clinic for testing
  4. You get your results — we'll be in touch with findings and next steps

Whether it's a routine wellness panel, a follow-up check, or investigating a concern your pet's vet wants to monitor, an at-home lab draw makes it easier to stay on top of your pet's health.

Veterinary Ultrasound in San Luis Obispo County

Ultrasound gives our veterinarians a real-time, non-invasive look inside your pet's body, examining organs, checking for abnormalities, and gathering information that bloodwork alone can't provide. It's an invaluable tool for evaluating the abdomen, heart, bladder, liver, spleen, and more.


And yes—we can perform ultrasounds at your home. Our mobile ultrasound capability means your pet can undergo this diagnostic imaging in the place where they feel safest, with no travel, no waiting rooms, and no added anxiety.



Ultrasound is available both through mobile visits and at our San Luis Obispo clinic, depending on your pet's needs and your preference.

Digital X-Rays at Our San Luis Obispo Clinic

For musculoskeletal evaluations, chest imaging, and cases that require radiographic imaging, Vetama offers digital X-rays at our in-clinic location in San Luis Obispo to get an in-depth look at:

  • Bone fractures and joint conditions
  • Lung and heart health
  • Gastrointestinal issues (foreign bodies, blockages)
  • Soft tissue abnormalities

Our team will walk you through what we're looking for, and explain the findings in plain language because you deserve to understand what's happening with your pet, not just receive a result.


Diagnostics

Built for Every Situation

Not every case is the same, and our diagnostic approach reflects that. Vetama is equipped to handle a wide spectrum of testing needs:

  • In-house results for time-sensitive cases where quick answers guide immediate care decisions
  • Send-out testing for specialized panels, genetic screening, infectious disease profiles, and complex diagnostics that require external laboratory expertise

Our goal is always to get you accurate answers as efficiently as possible—and to make sure those answers are followed by a clear, thoughtful plan for your pet's care.
