Clinical Services

Clinical Laboratory Services
The Clinical Laboratory Services of the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital process and analyze more than 55,000 laboratory samples on more than 35,000 animal patients each year. Our highly qualified staff provides essential, state-of-the-art diagnostic testing and professional expertise to clinical veterinarians at the University of California and throughout the state of California. Bringing new tests to the practice of veterinary laboratory medicine and improving existing tests is an important goal of the VMTH Laboratories, and we work closely with faculty to facilitate “translation” of their research into new diagnostic assays.
