In-Home Pet Diagnostics and Bloodwork

Dr. Diaz performs comprehensive diagnostics at your home — bloodwork, urinalysis, heartworm testing, ultrasound, and EKG. Diagnostics are the foundation of root-cause integrative medicine. No clinic trip required. Serving select areas of Miami-Dade County and select areas of Broward County.

Diagnostics: quick answers

What is it?

On-site testing — bloodwork, urinalysis, heartworm, cytology, and fine-needle aspirates — read quickly so we can act the same day.

Why would my pet need it?

When your pet is sick, aging, or due for a check, lab results reveal what an exam alone can't — from infections to organ and thyroid problems.

Why is it better with us?

Laboratory testing happens during the same home visit, not a separate trip, and your $250 Medical Credit is applied toward it.

Diagnostics available at home

  • Complete Blood Count (CBC) and chemistry panels
  • Urinalysis and urine culture
  • 4DX Plus — heartworm, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma
  • FeLV/FIV combo test for cats
  • Fecal examination for parasites
  • In-home ultrasound (IQ+ Vet portable system)
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)
  • Blood pressure monitoring

Why diagnostics come first

You can't treat what you can't measure. Dr. Susset Diaz Castillo uses diagnostics to move beyond guesswork — confirming a diagnosis, catching disease early, and tracking how your pet responds to treatment over time. Running these tests in your home means no stressful car ride and calmer patients, which often produces more accurate results, especially for blood pressure and heart rhythm.

Results you can act on

Many in-home tests produce same-day or next-day results, though laboratory turnaround times vary; specialty panels sent to outside labs typically return within a few business days. Dr. Diaz reviews every result with you in plain language and explains exactly what it means for your pet's care plan. Laboratory testing can be performed during a medically appropriate home visit, with the $250 Medical Credit available in every standard package; laboratory costs above the credit require your approval. Advanced point-of-care procedures such as ultrasound and EKG are included in the $695 Sick Visits, Diagnostics & Treatments package when medically appropriate, not in every visit.
