Cats
At PepiPets, we offer simple and convenient solutions for lab testing, vaccines, and more for your cat. Our goal is to work with pet parents and their veterinarians to provide quick, cost-effective diagnostic solutions for cats. From our mobile pet lab to at-home vaccinations, and beyond, we are your source for modern solutions to cat health.
Cat Lab Work
Lab work such as urine samples, blood work, and more can help your veterinarian learn more about your cat’s health. Vets often order lab work during wellness checkups, before surgeries, or if there is a medical concern that requires further information. Lab test results can reveal everything from your cat’s white blood cell count to their glucose levels, and so much more.
Common reasons that your vet will order lab work for your cat include:
- Your first visit to a new vet
- Wellness exams
- Pre-surgical tests
- When starting new medications
- If your cat is showing signs of illness
- Senior cats or those with a chronic condition may require more frequent blood work and other lab tests
Until PepiPets, your only option for mobile pet testing for your cat was to take them to the veterinarian. However, we have changed all of that. We understand that it can be difficult to take time out of your busy day to attend a vet appointment just for lab work, and visiting the vet often causes anxiety for cats. With PepiPets mobile pet testing, we’ll come to your home to draw blood, stool, urine, and other labs. Working with PepiPets Mobile is less expensive, more convenient, and provides quick results. We’ll share the results with you and your veterinarian so that you can work together to discuss any concerns.
