Small Clinics with In-House Labs

Running an in-house lab gives your clinic full control over diagnostics, but it also comes with a heavy workload. Every day, your team processes routine fecal, ear, and skin samples, spends time tracking down pet parents who forgot to bring in samples, and deals with the time-consuming prep work that comes with in-house testing. These are critical diagnostics, but when they take up hours of staff time, they reduce efficiency and slow down patient care.

For a small clinic, balancing high-quality care with limited staff is a daily challenge. With appointment slots booked back-to-back, every minute saved helps. But when techs are tied up processing routine tests, it leaves less time for more complex cases. Some pet parents even delay testing altogether because they find it inconvenient to bring in samples, leading to compliance issues and delayed diagnoses.

Petex at-home kits give your clinic a way to offload routine sample collection without disrupting your existing workflow. Pet parents collect their own samples at home and mail them directly to your lab, an external partner, or petex’s lab. Your team still controls the process, but without the extra workload.

How Petex Supports Small Clinics:

• Frees up 10+ hours per week for techs by eliminating routine sample prep.
• Reduces front desk congestion caused by sample drop-offs.
• Improves compliance by making sample collection easy for pet owners.
• Works seamlessly with your existing in-house lab setup—no operational changes.
• Available with custom branding to keep your clinic’s identity front and center.
