MEET THE FUTURE OF PET WELLNESS, MADE SIMPLE.

Investment will allow MySimplePetLab to grow its team, expand consumer lab testing, scale up tech and automate points of friction in the pet care space that have yet to be addressed by the industry.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- By Vets, For Pets - MySimplePetLab is leading the future of modern pet wellness with  their from home pet diagnostic tests, today announced a Series A led by Mars  Companion Fund with participation from founding investors Jeff Cowan and Jeremy  Friese, MD.

MySimplePetLab offers routine testing for the most common health concerns among  dog and cat owners including stool, urine, ears, and skin & itch. Veterinarians or pet  parents receive an easy-to-use kit in the mail for sample collection that is then shipped  back to MySimplePetLab. MySimplePetLab runs the samples in their own lab and  provides on demand results and automation that are shared directly with pet owners, veterinarians, and animal care teams. The lab, based in Denver, CO, is the first of its  kind in animal health. Test kits are currently available through the vet channel in  veterinary clinics and animal care services such as boarders and groomers. Pet  Parents can also purchase tests from MySimplePetLab's homepage, Amazon, Allivet,  Tractor Supply Rx, Walmart.com and select veterinary retailers.

"MySimplePetLab, the leader in at home pet diagnostics, made simple – and will  automate the way that veterinarians and pet owners test and care for their pets," said  Cindy Cole, DVM, PhD, DACVCP and Technical Partner at Mars Companion Fund  about the Series A round. "75 million pets are projected to be without easy access to pet  care by 2030. MySimplePetLab is the future of pet wellness made simple and  addresses friction around access to high quality pet care, simplicity, and convenience.  Their technology makes testing simple, fast, and accessible nationwide with results in  days delivered directly to pet owners. Results can also be auto shared in real time with  veterinarians, groomers, and boarders. The technology allows you to test and get to  treatment fast."

MySimplePetLab is on a mission to empower pet parents and increase access to  diagnostic pet care. Starting with vet approved at home tests, MySimplePetLab makes  pet health and wellness more simple, accessible, and enjoyable.

Diagnostics and test sample collection are time and labor intensive in-clinic,  MySimplePetLab offers animal care teams and pet parents alike the flexibility to do  testing from home prior to in-clinic visits, which saves time, drives compliance, and  optimizes clinic labor models.

"MySimplePetLab's long-term vision is to build a modern pet care infrastructure that  supports both pet parents and animal health professionals where and when they need  diagnostic testing and care the most," said CEO & President Jen Hagness. "With our  new funding, we are hyper focused on making access to care even easier. Modern pet  parents want more data, more choices, more control of their pets' wellness, and 'better  vet visits' - we solve all those pain points at MySimplePetLab."
