Animal Diagnostic Laboratory - Lab For Pets

This doctor, staff, and entire laboratory facility are why reviews like this really make a difference!!! We couldn't find a single animal laboratory that performed necropsies that would call us back or take in our beloved pet due to requiring the patient to be already serviced within the hospital. It was a holiday, and we took a chance and left a message at Lab For Pets in Laguna Hills, CA. Within a few hours, Dr. Shahriar called us directly and explained the intake protocol. He was extremely friendly and compassionate, as well as completely on board with helping us get the answers we needed. Our darling girl was transported the next morning, and underwent the entire procedure within days. Doctor Shahriar literally kept us posted on updates of findings as he was conducting the procedure.

Lab for pets is an absolute treasure for pet necropsy. Our cat suddenly passed away last December and were concerned that she had ingested poison or had other items that would affect our other house pets. So many locations would list that they have necropsy services but had now been discontinued. We called numerous pet hospitals. This is almost the only place that offers it at (and at a very reasonable price.) We received the lab report within a month. We received advance notice within a few days ruling out poison. Thank you so much doctor for servicing pet lovers! P.S. We had opt-in for the cremation service - would recommend.

Words cannot describe the feelings I went through when found out that my 3.5 yr Scottish fold had passed away. Since we had 3 other cats we needed a necropsy report to rule out toxins or trauma (to protect the others). After calling many vets, crematories, NO one offer necropsies anymore…until I found LabforPets. Dr Shahriar is the best! He immediately took care of my cat and gave us updates along the way. He understands how sensitive these situations are and provided us with all the support. My experience was the best - drop off, intake, updates, thorough electronic report, pick up, and exit consultation. Also I received my pet with dignity & NOT in just a plastic bag with a label on it. She came in a tote bag that housed a box with her ashes wrapped with respect. You’ve provided so much

I could not give Lab For Pets a better review... I was HEART BROKEN when my 5 month old puppy died out of no where. I called numerous labs that were fine but pretty to the point and did not do cremation after which was very important to me. From the initial call the gentleman I worked with was so sweet and empathetic to everything going on. He allowed me to text for updates. All I wanted was answered and they went past what I could have expected on this. Even when explaining the outcome they were so respectful to speak softly understanding she was still my pet and not just a body. After I got her ashes and paw print in the CUTEST little box with my puppies name on it I was in tears. THANK YOU Labs for pets. I have the closure I needed and I know my baby was treated well all the way through

Lab for Pets is exceptional ! Working with them has been a great experience in spite of the incredibly difficult circumstances. While out of the country we got a call our young healthy 2 year old Leonberger 100lb pup had suddenly died with no known health issues. We were devastated and determined to understand what could have caused his death. We were very fortunate to find Lab for Pets. They were very responsive and super helpful. They did all of the complex coordination, arranging for pickup with constant communication. The pathologist, Dr. Shahrian is outstanding! He is caring, compassionate, and provides a very clear analysis of findings with extensive details and supporting evidence via his Necropsy report. He also follows up with a phone conversation to go over the findings and e
