Stop Guessing. Start Understanding.

TotalVet offers a range of at-home pet health tests designed to give you clear, actionable insights without a clinic visit. Depending on the product, you’ll either (a) collect a sample at home and mail it to a lab for analysis (like stool-based lab testing and microbiome sequencing), or (b) run a quick at-home screening with an easy-to-read result. Each kit includes step-by-step instructions, and results (when applicable) are delivered through your secure online account.

No. These tests are designed to support veterinary care, not replace it. They can make vet visits more productive by giving you organized information to share (especially if your pet’s symptoms come and go), but your veterinarian is the right partner for diagnosis, treatment decisions, and urgent concerns. If a result is abnormal, or your pet seems unwell, your vet should be your next step.

It depends on the type of test: Some tests provide results in minutes (such as our at-home screening kits). Mail-in lab tests require more time, ranging from a few business days after the lab receives your sample, up to 3-4 weeks for more complex tests.

Start by using your results to guide your next best step: share them with your veterinarian, use them to prioritize changes (like diet/environment routines), or rule things out so you can stop guessing. And if you can’t act immediately, that’s okay—most pet parents make changes gradually, one step at a time. The goal is to turn uncertainty into a clearer plan, at a pace that works for your pet and your budget.

No. At-home testing is typically best viewed as screening and insight: it can help you identify what to pay attention to, what to discuss with your veterinarian, and what to do next—especially when symptoms are vague or intermittent. TotalVet tests and this website do not provide a medical diagnosis.
