MySimplePetLab Raises Series A Funding Led by Mars Companion Fund
By Vets, For Pets – MySimplePetLab, maker of from home pet diagnostic tests, has announced a Series A funding 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.”
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 and 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.”
