Is a Vet Visit Required?Updated 7 months ago

No, a veterinary exam, prescription, consultation, or relationship is not required to purchase the test, submit a sample, or get results.

Pet owners are not asked to provide the name of a veterinarian or veterinary practice and are not required to share the results with a vet. The easy-to-understand online test results are provided back to the pet owner directly and privately.

MySimplePetLab is a strong advocate of testing through and under the guidance of veterinarians. However, we also believe that some of these authentic, professional tests should be more accessible online and in pet retail stores, through pet service providers like kennels, day cares, groomers, and trainers, and at animal shelters and rescues.

MySimplePetLab is founded and guided by veterinarians. We believe in the value of the veterinary-client-patient relationship (VCPR) and strongly encourage you to share your pet’s test results with a local or virtual veterinarian for professional medical perspective and guidance; whether the results come back negative or positive.

Keep in mind that a test result is not the same as a veterinarian’s diagnosis. A diagnosis requires health history, physical exam findings, and maybe other tests to determine the safest and most effective treatment or prevention plan, tailored to your pet’s unique needs.
