About this test list

Prices follow the printed rate card of Pashupatinath Vet Lab (rates dated 4 December 2025). Prices are in Indian rupees. The final amount is confirmed at booking. Tests that are not on the printed rate card, or have no printed price, show “Price on request” and we confirm the amount when you book.

Routine blood, urine and stool tests are normally reported the same day or within 24 hours. PCR, ELISA, culture and biopsy tests need more time, so the lab confirms the reporting time when you book. A registered veterinarian should read every result together with your animal’s signs and history.

Not sure which test your animal needs?

Tell us the signs you see. We will suggest which tests your veterinarian may want, and book them for you.
