Integration of Ear Cytology Testing From Home with Veterinary Care

Designed by veterinarians, our home dog and cat ear cytology test kits empower pet parents to conveniently collect samples from home and get fast, reliable results to their veterinarian. Results are also delivered to the pet parent through a user-friendly dashboard, where they can access educational articles to better understand their pet’s ear health and the test findings.

Common Uses For Ear Cytology Tests From Home In Veterinary Practice

  • Recheck Testing: From home test kits make recheck testing convenient. Home monitoring of treatment progress increases follow up compliance and allowing veterinary teams to better manage their appointment schedules.
  • Management of Pets With Chronic Conditions: Home testing supports ongoing management of pets with conditions that make them prone to frequent ear infections. Providing a convenient way for pet parents and veterinarians to stay on top of emerging issues. 
  • Stress Free Veterinary Care: For pets and pet parents who find veterinary clinic visits stressful, ear sample collection from home offers a better alternative to reduce fear while still collecting essential diagnostic data in the comfort of home.
  • Support Virtual Care: Home ear diagnostic testing equips virtual vets with the data necessary to guide medical advice. Without a VCPR, test results from home help provide diagnostic evidence for the need for follow-up care. With an established VCPR, test results support over-the-counter or prescription treatment decisions, providing critical guidance, especially when pet parents are unable to bring their pet to a veterinary clinic.

Our simple from home ear cytology tests not only ensure compliance with the veterinarian's recommendations but also promote stronger partnerships between pet parents and their vet. By making ear diagnostics simple and accessible, our Ear Infection Tests increase compliance with care plans, helping pets receive timely and effective treatment. With seamless integration between home testing and professional veterinary care, pet parents stay engaged in their pet’s ear health while supporting better outcomes.
