FAQs for our Vet HQ Family

Does Vet HQ have in-house blood testing?

Yes. Both of our Darlinghurst and Double Bay Vet Clinics have their own lab with machines like the Idexx Catalyst and ProCyte, which means we can do blood tests in-house.

What kinds of lab tests can Vet Double Bay perform on-site?

Vet HQ’s in-house lab handles blood work, urinalysis, skin biopsies, and other routine diagnostics. For more complex tests, samples are sent out.

How fast can I expect lab results for my Darlinghurst and Double Bay pets?

Basic results from the in-house lab are often available quickly (within hours for simple panels). Tests sent to external labs usually take 24-72 hours.

When does Vet HQ send samples to external labs?

If a test needs special analysis or review by specialists (e.g. pathology or more detailed diagnostics), those samples are sent out.

Why is having lab facilities at Vet HQ helpful?

Having in-house lab facilities means faster diagnoses, less waiting, more accurate treatment decisions, and fewer trips, all of which are helpful for getting your pet better sooner.
