About us

Built for Vets. Designed for Pets.

At Petex, we appreciate the incredible work veterinarians do every day. You dedicate your time to keeping pets healthy, educating pet owners, and managing a growing caseload. But as direct-to-consumer testing became more common, we noticed a problem—while pet owners were gaining access to convenient at-home diagnostics, veterinary clinics weren’t part of the equation.

We saw an opportunity to bridge the gap. Instead of bypassing veterinary teams, we created a solution that works alongside them. petex kits allow practices to offer pet owners the same convenient testing they’re looking for while keeping the process efficient, reliable, and within the clinic’s control.

Why We Started Petex

We’re Kolbey and Madison—lifelong pet lovers who have always turned to veterinarians for expert guidance in keeping our pets healthy. But as at-home pet health tests gained popularity, we realized many of these services were skipping an essential step: the vet.

Pet owners wanted easy access to routine diagnostics, but the existing direct-to-consumer options often left veterinary professionals out of the process. That didn’t sit right with us. Testing should be a tool for collaboration, not a replacement for veterinary care.

That’s why we created Petex—to give clinics a simple, effective way to offer at-home sample collection without disrupting their workflow or overwhelming their staff.

Making Testing Easier for Everyone

Routine diagnostics are essential for patient care, but they take up valuable time. Techs spend hours handling sample collection, processing, and follow-ups when they could be focusing on more complex cases. At the same time, pet owners often forget to bring in samples, leading to delays and extra admin work for the front desk.

With petex, pet owners collect samples themselves and mail them directly to:

  • Your existing lab – No need to change workflows or lab partnerships.
  • Your in-house lab – Keep control while reducing your team’s workload.
  • petex’s partner lab – A fully managed option with no long term contracts for seamless processing.

By shifting sample collection to pet owners, clinics save time while keeping diagnostic testing accessible and efficient.

Why Vets Choose petex

  • Reduces staff workload – Clinics save up to 10+ hours per week by eliminating routine sample prep.
  • Increases compliance – Pet owners are more likely to complete tests when it’s simple and convenient.
  • Keeps your practice in control – You decide where samples go, and nothing changes with your existing lab setup.
  • Strengthens client relationships – Offering convenient testing keeps pet owners engaged with your clinic.
  • Branded kits available – Reinforce trust by providing at-home kits customized with your clinic’s name and logo.

petex isn’t here to replace in-house diagnostics. It’s here to help clinics run more smoothly, reduce workload, and provide pet parents with an easier way to complete routine testing.

Veterinary care is evolving, and pet owners are looking for more convenience when it comes to their pets’ health. That doesn’t mean they want to bypass their vet—it means they want options that fit their busy lives.

With petex, clinics can offer a modern, at-home testing option while maintaining the high level of care pet owners trust. It’s a simple way to help your team work more efficiently, improve compliance, and make pet care easier for everyone.
