**The tests and fees posted are provided for use by veterinarians and are subject to change.**
A $10 accession fee is assessed for each laboratory submission and is in addition to the listed test fees.
STAT/Rush testing may be available for an additional fee, depending on daily workload. Please contact the laboratory in advance if expedited testing is needed.
If you are an animal owner and wish to submit specimens, please contact your local veterinarian. Fees charged by veterinarians typically reflect the time, expertise, and expense necessary to collect the sample, ship it appropriately, and provide treatment advice based on the interpretation of test results. It is standard for diagnostic fees charged by veterinarians to exceed the laboratory test price.
