A veterinary clinic is filled with the sounds of dogs and cats, but there's one sound that's not quite so commonly associated with it: the rumble of a centrifuge. Most people associate centrifuges with human labs and hospitals, but they're also needed in veterinary clinics around the world, making it easier for veterinarians to provide more accurate diagnoses for their animal patients.

It's a new era for animal-human health. In an era where zoonoses are more relevant than ever, the way we think about the relationship between our pets and ourselves has never been more important.

In this week of the RoK Diagnostics podcast, we discuss how medical laboratory scientists could help in the veterinary field.
