We started Smarty Tests because we thought there was a better way to help pets — and we knew pet owners deserved better.
Smarty Tests is a small, veterinarian-owned business built on a simple but powerful belief: every pet deserves access to accurate, affordable diagnostics but that doesn't always mean a stressful clinic visit is needed.
As veterinarians, we saw it every day: pets who were sick but whose owners couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. Pets who were treated with antibiotics "just in case" because testing felt out of reach — too expensive, too complicated, or too stressful. We knew there had to be a better way.
Your Pet Can't Tell You What's Wrong. We Can Help.
That's why we created Smarty Tests — a line of at-home, mail-in diagnostic tests designed to take the guesswork out of your pet's health. From fecal parasite screens to urinary tract infection cultures and comprehensive PCR panels, our tests are the same laboratory-quality diagnostics used by veterinary professionals, now delivered straight to your door.
No stressful car rides. No waiting room anxiety. Just clear, clinically meaningful results — so you and your vet can make informed decisions together.
Our Commitment to One Health
We are proud to be committed to the One Health framework — the understanding that the health of people, animals, and the environment are deeply interconnected. This shapes everything we do.
Responsible diagnostics aren't just good for your pet. They're good for all of us. When we test before we treat, we preserve the power of antibiotics for when they're truly needed — a practice known as antimicrobial stewardship. Overuse of antibiotics in pets contributes to resistance that affects human medicine too. Affordable, accessible testing is one of the most important tools we have to protect that shared future.
Small Business. Big Mission.
We are a small, independent, veterinarian-owned team. We don't have the marketing budgets of big pet health corporations — but we have something more important: genuine expertise, deep care for animals, and a firsthand understanding of what pet owners actually need.
When you choose Smarty Tests, you're supporting a small business run by the same kind of people you'd want treating your pet. And you're choosing a smarter, more responsible approach to pet health — one test at a time.
Smarter Testing. Healthier Pets.
