What’s included

Your custom dashboard

Easily sort and access your patients' results with an easy-to-use dashboard. You can share individual results with clients, but you retain control over every report generated for your practice.

How it works

  1. 1. Swab

    Gently swab the inside of your patient’s cheek pouch and under the tongue to collect saliva for at least 30 seconds.

  2. 2. Activate & mail

    Activate each kit online and send samples to our lab in their prepaid envelopes. Note: Samples remain stable for at least 6 months. However, kits expire two years after purchase, so please plan accordingly.

  3. 3. Results in 2-4 weeks

    We'll notify you by email when results are ready. You'll be able to access every patient's report in your dashboard and share with owners.

“I really see this as becoming a routine test in the future.”

“It will benefit everyone in the long run since we are finding it changes the care and diagnostic protocol so significantly. I really do believe this will become routine for all new puppy visits. It gives us a chance to really personalize the care of each individual pet.”

Dr. Sharon Minninger
Senior Staff Medical Director + Lead Veterinarian, Telford Veterinary Hospital
