Our mission is to provide the most accurate diagnosis with the fastest turnaround times, by equipping our service with the most advanced veterinary diagnostics technology. Asia
Veterinary Diagnostics works only with highly experienced boarded
or double boarded veterinary pathologists, and thanks to our digitizer system experts from all over the world can
discuss the cases and provide second opinions concurrently.

Since our inception in 2013, Hong Kong Veterinary Diagnostics Centre has quickly grown to be the leading provider of veterinary specialty diagnostic services in Hong Kong. More recently we have expanded our service to mainland China and Singapore and rebranded as Asia Veterinary Diagnostics.
Our organization is founded on the principle of providing diagnostic services to veterinarians, by veterinarians, all of whom are boarded or double boarded veterinary pathologists, and are supported by a global network of second tier pathologists who provide second opinion and additional readings for special requests.
We joined the UK NEQAS external Quality Control Histopathology and Cytology schemes, in order to provide nothing but excellence for our histopathologists, allowing us to deliver the best diagnosis for our clients.
AVD is your laboratory and our team is very much looking forward to hearing your ongoing feedback, so that we can continue to provide you with everything you need as your pathology service.

A ‘second tier’ clinical pathologist and/or internist will review the clinical history and all of our laboratory data (from different disciplines) related to your case, and provide an overall case interpretation with recommendations for any further diagnostics or broad management options.
The case review comprises a concise (up to 1 page) written summary from our specialist and is over and above any interpretations given for single tests. (SG$90)
Specialist Case Review
Sample Submission
Submission forms for our different laboratory disciplines are provided to you as tear-off pads for your convenience and are available to download from our website asiaveterinarydiagnostics.com
We will also provide you with plastic sample submission bags and formalin-filled sample pots for biopsy submissions. Advice on the correct method for sample packaging can be found on our website.
