Find the Right Pet Test
What’s going on with your pet?
You don’t need to know the name of a lab panel before you start. Begin with the symptom or reason you want to test, and Kedi Labs will help you narrow down the most appropriate at-home veterinary laboratory option.
From symptoms to answers: choose the test → collect the sample at home → send it to Kedi → veterinary laboratory testing → receive results → share them with your veterinarian and decide what comes next.
Diarrhea or vomiting
Compare routine fecal screening, Giardia testing, broader parasite PCR, and species-specific infectious diarrhea PCR panels.

Coughing, sneezing, or respiratory symptoms
Choose a species-specific respiratory PCR panel for a cat or dog when infectious respiratory causes are being investigated.
Urinary problems
For frequent urination, accidents, blood in urine, straining, or recurring urinary concerns, compare the cat and dog urine-testing options.
Itchy skin, hair loss, or suspicious lesions
Ringworm can cause hair loss, scaling, crusting, or circular lesions. Kedi’s current skin pathway is specifically for dermatophyte (ringworm) PCR testing, not allergy testing.
Routine parasite screening
Choose between basic microscopy, microscopy plus Giardia ELISA, and broader parasite PCR based on how much screening you need.

How Kedi works
1. Start with the problem
Choose a pathway based on your pet’s symptoms or the type of screening you need.
2. Collect at home
Your kit includes the collection materials and instructions for the test you selected.
3. Send the sample
Package and ship the sample according to the instructions included with your Kedi kit.
4. Veterinary laboratory testing
Your pet’s sample is analyzed using the laboratory method appropriate for that test, such as microscopy, ELISA, culture, or PCR.
5. Get results
Review the laboratory report and the information provided with your results.
6. Decide what comes next
Share the report with your veterinarian and use the findings alongside your pet’s symptoms and clinical history to guide next steps.
When an at-home test is not the right first step
Mail-in testing is not intended for emergencies. Seek prompt veterinary care for marked breathing difficulty, collapse, blue or pale gums, inability to urinate, repeated straining with little or no urine, severe or rapidly worsening diarrhea or vomiting, significant bleeding, severe pain, dehydration, or marked lethargy. Very sick puppies and kittens should also be evaluated promptly.
Laboratory testing can help investigate specific infectious, parasitic, urinary, or fungal causes, but no single test rules out every possible cause of a pet’s symptoms.
