How it works
Three simple steps from a confusing blood panel or X-ray to a confident vet visit.
Create your dog's or cat's profile
Species, breed, age, and weight — so every explanation is read against what's normal for your pet, not a generic animal.
Upload the bloodwork or X-ray
Snap a photo or upload the PDF your vet or lab sent you. Complete blood counts, chemistry panels, and X-ray images all work.
Read the plain-language explanation
See what each value means, which results deserve attention, and ask follow-up questions in everyday language.
What a report looks like
Two excerpts from real reports, exactly as owners see them. Open either one — no account needed.
Dog X-ray · swallowed-object question
Stomach contents need prompt veterinary follow-up
- There is material in Max’s stomach that could represent ingesta or a swallowed foreign object.
- Some gas-filled bowel is visible near the stomach, but one view cannot reliably determine whether an obstruction is present.
- No obvious free abdominal gas is seen on this view, which is reassuring against a clearly perforated bowel.

Dog bloodwork · three flagged values
Every value sits on its lab reference range; flagged ones open with a plain-language note.
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 81 U/L ref 0–50 High
Calcium 3.31 mmol/L ref 1.98–3 High
Red blood cells (RBC) 5.1 10¹²/L ref 5.5–8.5 Low

Works on any device
Phone, tablet, or computer — upload from the waiting room or read the explanation on the couch.
The three things owners bring us most often
The reports we've explained so far cluster around a few worries. The sample pages walk through each one.
"Did my dog swallow something?"
A vomiting dog, an abdominal X-ray, and a vet who mentioned a possible foreign body. The report explains what the stomach shows, why a second view looks different, and why fabric and plastic never show up.
See the dog X-ray sample →"The vet said the heart looks big."
Heart size on a chest film is the most common imaging finding owners ask about, for dogs and cats alike. The report says what an enlarged silhouette suggests, what it does not prove, and which test comes next.
See the cat X-ray sample →"One value is flagged. Does it matter?"
Most panels come back almost entirely normal with one or two values marked H or L. The report colour-codes each one by how much it usually matters and explains the likely causes — including sample artefacts like haemolysis.

Plain-language guides written for dog and cat owners, and a glossary of every value on a routine panel.
Dog & cat blood test results, explained
What the CBC and chemistry panel measure, how dogs and cats differ, and the four things owners misread.
Dog & cat X-rays, explained
When a pet actually needs an X-ray, how to read light and dark on the image, and what a film can't show.
Pet lab test glossary
64 values and concepts — from ALT to urine specific gravity — each with what high and low mean in dogs and cats.
An educational tool you can trust
We help you understand and prepare — your veterinarian makes the decisions.
Not a diagnosis
Read Your Pet's Lab is an educational tool that helps you understand your dog's or cat's results and prepare for your vet visit — it is not a diagnosis. Always consult your veterinarian about your pet's health.
Your data stays private
Your pet's blood panels and X-rays are encrypted in transit and at rest, handled under GDPR-aligned practices, and never sold. Delete everything with one click, anytime.
Plain language, no alarm
We explain what the numbers and images mean in calm, everyday words — so you arrive at the clinic informed, not frightened.
Questions owners ask
Can I upload my dog's or cat's blood test results and get them explained?
Yes. Upload the PDF your clinic emailed you or a photo of the printout. Every value on the CBC, chemistry panel, urinalysis or thyroid test is pulled out, compared with the lab's own reference range and explained in plain language for your dog or cat, with the out-of-range values flagged by how much they matter.
Can AI read my dog's or cat's X-ray?
Yes. Upload the X-ray image your vet gave you (a JPEG, PNG or DICOM file, or a clear photo of the screen) and you get a walk-through of what it shows: the heart and lungs, the abdomen, bones and joints, with each finding marked on the image. It is an explanation that helps you follow your vet, not a radiology report — and it says plainly what a single view cannot rule out.
Is it free to use?
Your first 10 bloodwork or X-ray analyses and up to 2 pets are free, with no credit card. Vaccination reminders stay free forever. Pro is $5 a month for unlimited pets and uploads.
Is this a diagnosis?
No. Read Your Pet's Lab is an educational tool. It explains what the numbers and images mean and prepares you with the right questions, so that the conversation with your vet, who has actually examined your pet, is calmer and more useful.
Which lab reports work?
Reports from reference labs such as IDEXX, Antech and Laboklin, and printouts from in-clinic analysers. If a report is in a language other than English or German, the values are still read and explained.
My pet's result is flagged high or low. Should I worry?
A mildly out-of-range value on its own is common and often unimportant, which is why each flagged value is explained with its likely causes and how urgent it usually is. You also get a short list of questions to ask your vet about it.
Is my pet's data private?
Reports and images are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in the EU, never sold, and you can delete everything with one click.
Does it work for rabbits, birds or horses?
Not yet. Reference ranges and interpretation differ by species, so for now it is dogs and cats only.
