Our mission is to provide the highest quality diagnostic service to our veterinary teaching hospital and veterinarians in Iowa and throughout the Midwest. The Department of Veterinary Pathology is committed to the land-grant missions of teaching, service and research. We excel in meeting the diagnostic needs of all species for clinical pathology, histopathology, and parasitology. Additionally, we have a focus area of excellence in companion animal diagnostics. Please contact us regarding policies. Also, this link is to our policy on Transfer and Disposition of Materials.
Dropping off Samples at ISU?
Please note that all entrances are locked at the Veterinary College except the doors to the Small and Large Animal Hospitals, VDL Submissions (downstairs lobby), and the doors that lead into Administration (by the Gentle Doctor statue). The receptionists, at these locations, will call the Pathology Laboratory when you drop off a specimen, and we will be happy to pick up the package. The Small Animal Hospital entrance should be used to submit pathology specimens during after-hours, on weekends or during holiday closures.
