Chatsworth, California: Accurate diagnoses, symptom management, and resolution of chronic disease significantly improve health outcomes in companion animals. Now, an innovative new service from VDI Laboratory—Test & Treat—not only helps identify the patient’s problem, it also offers veterinarians integrative treatment solutions, resulting in streamlined care and improved patient outcomes.
About VDI Laboratory
A global leader in veterinary diagnostic testing, VDI Laboratory specializes in cancer detection, gastrointestinal disease, atopy, dietary evaluation, and comprehensive disease screening using fast, cost-effective blood, stool, and urine tests. Test & Treat goes beyond diagnostics by offering veterinarians personalized, actionable, integrative treatment options for patients and curated product recommendations.
The new one-step problem/solution service is all part of VDI Laboratory’s long-standing commitment to the veterinary community.
“Our mission is to provide veterinarians with industry-leading testing and accurate diagnostic solutions so they can make the right decisions for their patients,” says Randy Ringold, President of VDI. “Test & Treat delivers clear, immediate treatment recommendations alongside test results, enhancing efficiency, improving patient care, and addressing major pain points in the diagnostic process.”
The Advanced GI Panel
This latest innovation comes hot on the heels of the company’s Advanced GI Panel sampling program, where VDI provided veterinarians with complimentary Advanced GI Panel testing kits. The program revealed common challenges in veterinary diagnostics, including the high cost of tests, the need for multiple tests, long turnaround times, and complex result interpretation. Participating veterinarians found that VDI’s panel offered a more cost-effective and comprehensive solution, delivering faster diagnoses and greater confidence in treatment decisions.
VDI testing kits give “us an additional set of data points that could really help us home in on the underlying diagnosis, as opposed to just treating a patient symptomatically,” says Dr. Loren Nations of Veterinary Healthcare Associates. With VDI’s advanced diagnostics and integrative Test & Treat solutions, veterinarians and pet parents can make faster, more informed decisions and develop targeted treatment options that address the root cause of disease.
