Veterinary medicine has evolved dramatically over the past several decades, and nowhere is this more evident than in the field of diagnostics. The ability to detect, characterize, and monitor disease in animals is fundamental to veterinary practice, whether the patient is a household pet, a food-producing animal, a performance horse, or even a zoo species. Diagnostic services allow veterinarians to move beyond symptoms and clinical suspicion, providing evidence-based insights that inform treatment, prevention, and broader public health decisions.
