STEP 04KEEP WATCHING TOGETHER

Keep a closer eye.
Between blood tests.

Eating less? Drinking more? Not as keen on their walks? Keep those little changes beside their bloodwork. Together, they can help you and their vet notice a change sooner and decide what to do next.

  • Log changes while they're fresh
  • Keep questions, care plans, and results together
  • Arrange another test when their vet recommends it

Tell us what changed.

If dinner goes unfinished or walks feel different, make a note while it’s fresh.

Bring it to their vet.

We can help turn what you’ve noticed into a message for their vet. You check it before it goes.

Keep the plan moving.

Keep track of medicines, walks, and how they’re feeling, without trying to remember it all.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Good questions.
Plain answers.

01

What is Wellhound?

Wellhound helps you keep up with your dog's health, starting with bloodwork at home. Their vet explains the results and makes a plan. Ask questions, keep their history together, and get help ordering what they need, messaging their vet, or booking follow-ups.

02

Which panel is right for my dog?

Core is for dogs under 7. Senior is for dogs 7 and older, or giant breeds 5 and older. We'll talk it through with you before booking. Their vet may suggest a different testing plan based on what your dog needs.

03

Does this replace my regular veterinarian?

Your regular vet stays part of their care. You can share your dog's results, history, and plan with them. Your vet still diagnoses and treats. If your dog seems unwell or needs urgent help, contact their vet directly.

04

Does a normal result mean my dog is healthy?

A normal result is useful, but it can't rule out every illness. Their vet also looks at what's changed since their last test and how your dog is doing at home. Tell them about anything you've noticed, even if the results look normal.

05

How does the Virginia beta work?

Tell us a little about you and your dog. We'll call within a week to talk through the tests and a home visit. First visits start in November 2026. Wellhound covers half the cost of lab testing for beta members.

06

What happens after the results arrive?

Results are expected in two days. Their vet looks at what's changed for your dog and shares a plan. Wellhound helps you understand it and get things done, from ordering recommended food to arranging their next visit. You approve each step.

07

What should I prepare for the home visit?

A quiet spot where your dog feels comfortable and a favorite treat for afterward. We'll send the rest of the instructions before we come, including whether they need to skip breakfast.

08

How often should dogs get bloodwork?

It depends on your dog's age, health, and medicines. Your membership includes an annual home blood draw. Their vet may recommend checking more often, especially as they get older or start a medicine.

09

What does a dog blood test show?

It gives their vet a closer look at their blood cells, kidneys, liver, blood sugar, and thyroid. Wellhound also checks for heartworm and certain tick-borne infections. See what each test can tell us on What we test.

010

What blood testing is included in the membership?

Your membership includes an annual home blood draw, Core or Senior tests for their age, and a vet's review. Their record stays with you between visits, ready for questions or the next conversation with their vet.

011

Can a care plan start without a new blood test?

Yes. A conversation with your regular vet or a televet can lead to a plan, too. They might suggest a medicine, a different food, or a change to your dog's walks. Wellhound helps you put it into practice, with your approval.

012

Is a home blood draw right for my older dog?

Tell us how your dog is doing and what helps them feel comfortable. A licensed veterinary technician performs the draw. We'll discuss their needs before deciding whether a home visit is right for them. Ask their vet if you have concerns.

013

Should my dog skip breakfast before the test?

We'll let you know before the visit. Follow the instructions confirmed for your dog.
