Pet blood test at home — know what's really going on.
Your dog or cat can't tell you something's wrong. A blood test can. Our certified vet partners collect samples right at home — no clinic visit, no unnecessary stress, no guesswork.
Why it matters
Why pet parents choose home sample collection.
A trip to the lab means strange smells, nervous waiting rooms, and a stressed pet before the needle even comes out. It doesn't have to be that way.
No clinic anxiety
Pets have noticeably lower cortisol levels in familiar surroundings. Calmer pet = more accurate sample. Your home is already the safest place they know.
Saves your entire afternoon
Between the drive, the wait, and the drive back — a routine lab visit easily eats three hours. We come to you in a 60-minute slot and you don't have to leave the house.
Certified collection — not a compromise
Our vet partners are licensed professionals, not phlebotomy assistants. Sample quality and chain-of-custody are maintained exactly as they would be at any reputable lab.
Reports you can actually understand
Every report delivery includes a complimentary vet call. Your vet partner walks you through the numbers in plain language, not medical jargon, and advises on next steps.
Great for senior or anxious pets
Older pets and those with travel anxiety benefit most. Reduced physical exertion before sample collection also means baseline readings are far more representative.
Transparent, no-surprise pricing
Choose a package or a single test. The price you see is what you pay — no hidden collection fees, no pharmacy upsells, no waiting-room markups.
The process
From booking to report — here's exactly what happens.
No surprises. No complicated steps. Just four simple stages between you and your pet's full health picture.
Pick your test & time slot
Choose a panel from our packages below or call to customise. Select a morning or evening slot that fits your schedule. Fasting requirements (if any) are confirmed at booking.
Vet arrives at your home
A certified vet partner from ThePetNest visits with all collection equipment. They calm your pet, locate the vein (usually the cephalic vein in the leg), and collect the sample in minutes.
Sample goes to a partner lab
The sample is properly labelled, packaged in a cold chain if required, and delivered to our accredited partner lab. You get a confirmation the moment it reaches.
Report + a free vet call
Results are reviewed and delivered to you in 24–48 hours, along with a complimentary call where a vet explains what every number means for your pet.

CBC — Complete Blood Count

Peripheral Blood Smear
Manual slide review of blood cells — flags anaemia, infection and immune issues a counter can miss.
Liver Function (LFT)
SGPT, SGOT, ALP, albumin, bilirubin. Screens for liver disease and toxin exposure.
Kidney Function (KFT)
Creatinine, BUN, uric acid. Critical for senior pets and those on long-term medication.
Blood Glucose
Random and fasting glucose levels. Screens for diabetes in dogs and cats.
Cholesterol
Lipid levels often rise with thyroid disease and pancreatitis — part of our senior panel.
Electrolytes (Na, K, Cl)
Sodium, potassium and chloride balance — included in pre-surgical screening.
Clotting & Bleeding Time
Confirms blood clots normally before any anaesthesia or surgical procedure.
Thyroid Profile (T4, fT4, TSH)
Hypothyroidism in dogs, hyperthyroidism in cats — both very common and treatable.
Cortisol (Cushing's / Addison's)
Adrenal hormone testing for weight gain, coat changes and energy shifts.
Tick Fever / Blood Parasite
Ehrlichia, Babesia, Anaplasma detection via peripheral smear or PCR.
Urine Routine
Dipstick + microscopy for UTIs, crystals, protein and early kidney markers.
Stool Routine
Identifies worms, Giardia, Coccidia and other GI parasites from a fresh sample.
Cardiac Marker CPK-MB

Common questions
Things pet parents ask us.
Everything you might wonder before booking a home collection — answered plainly.
Before the visit
For most panels, no. Fasting is only required for a few tests like lipid profile or fasting glucose — and if it applies to the panel you choose, we confirm the exact instructions when you book, so there's never any guesswork on the day.
During & after collection
A certified vet partner gently locates a vein — usually the cephalic vein in the leg — and draws the sample in a couple of minutes. It's the same quick prick used at any clinic, but in a calm, familiar setting, which most pets tolerate far better.
It's rare, but if a clean sample can't be drawn on the first visit — for example with a very anxious or dehydrated pet — we reschedule a second attempt at no extra cost, or fully refund your booking. You're never charged for a collection that didn't happen.
Your report
Most reports are delivered within 24–48 hours of collection, depending on the panel. Time-sensitive tests like progesterone come back faster, in 12–24 hours. You'll get a notification the moment your report is ready.
Yes — every report comes with a complimentary call. A vet walks you through what each number means for your pet, flags anything that needs attention, and advises on next steps, all in plain language rather than medical jargon.
Compared to other services
This service is specifically diagnostic sample collection plus lab testing. A home vet visit is a full clinical examination and treatment; an online consultation is advice over chat or video. They pair perfectly — many parents test first to get the data, then book a vet visit or consult to act on it.
