About the blood work report

What is AI DiagAnimals?

AI DiagAnimals is being developed to explain laboratory results for dogs and cats in a personalized educational report. It brings together your pet’s profile, an overview, marker-by-marker explanations, wellness advice, an action plan and questions for your veterinarian. You can explore the format in the sample report.

What will my pet’s report include?

The planned report includes a profile, a summary organized by biological function, explanations of reported values with their units and laboratory intervals, everyday wellbeing guidance, practical next steps and questions to discuss with your vet. Both in-range and out-of-range markers are explained.

Who is behind AI DiagAnimals?

AI DiagAnimals comes from the team behind AI DiagMe. A scientific and ethics committee is in place, and our team includes a veterinarian. Reports are generated by AI and may contain errors; this expertise does not turn the report into a veterinary consultation.

Does this replace a visit to my veterinarian?

No. Laboratory results are only part of the picture. Your veterinarian brings together the examination, history and other findings, makes diagnoses and decides on care. The report provides explanation and education, not a diagnosis, prescription or treatment recommendation.

How does the sample report work?

Choose a dog or cat, select a section, then use the page arrows. It demonstrates the structure and depth of an educational report. Sample values are not an assessment of your own pet; the number of pages in an individual report will depend on the information supplied.

Lab reports, dogs and cats

Which pets and reports is this being designed for?

The initial focus is dogs and cats, with explanations of common blood count, blood chemistry and urine reports. Supported tests and live upload formats will be confirmed before launch. Reference intervals differ by species, laboratory and method.

Can I upload my pet’s results now?

The upload area is a local demonstration. You can select one PDF, JPG or PNG of up to 10 MB, and only its filename is displayed. The content is not read, uploaded, stored or analyzed. The live interpretation service is not connected.

What context should I have ready?

For the future service, useful context includes species, breed, age, sex and neuter status, weight, reason for testing, symptoms, diet, medication, allergies and relevant history. The original laboratory report, including units, intervals and comments, is important.

Does it cover other animals or X-rays?

The current site is focused on laboratory information for dogs and cats. It does not offer imaging interpretation or support for other species. Do not apply a dog or cat example to another animal.

Before and after the blood test

Does my dog or cat need to fast before blood work?

Follow your clinic’s instructions: they depend on the tests requested. A recent meal can change some results, such as glucose or the appearance of the serum, which is why fasting is often requested before a chemistry panel. Keep water available unless your veterinarian tells you otherwise.

How long do dog and cat blood test results take?

It depends on the clinic and the tests. Some clinics have in-house analysers, while more specialized tests are sent to an outside laboratory. Your veterinarian can tell you when to expect the results and how they will share the report.

What if a result is outside the reference range?

A flag identifies a comparison with the laboratory interval; it is not a diagnosis. The degree of the change, the other results, symptoms and examination matter. Discuss the result with your veterinarian.

Can an in-range result rule out illness?

No. A reference interval is a comparison, not a guarantee of health. Symptoms, changes over time and findings outside the scope of a particular test can remain relevant.

Are wellness advice and the action plan treatments?

No. They explain everyday wellbeing and help organize observations, records and questions. Decisions about medication, supplements, diet changes, restrictions and clinical follow-up belong to your veterinarian.

What should I do in an emergency?

Contact your veterinarian or a local emergency veterinary service directly. Do not wait for an AI explanation or use this website to assess an emergency.

Privacy, pricing and support

How much will an explanation cost?

Pricing has not been announced. This preview is free to explore. It does not take payments, offer a subscription or generate a purchased report.

What happens to a file I choose in the demo?

It remains a local selection in your browser. Removing it or leaving the page clears the selection; changing between dog and cat can also reload the demo. No selected report is sent to an AI provider.

Do you use analytics or advertising cookies?

This build includes no analytics or advertising scripts and sets no application cookies for those purposes. The current typeface is requested from Google Fonts. See the Privacy and Cookie Policies for the scope of this preview.

How can I ask a question or report an error?

Use the Contact page or email contact@aidiagme.com. For an error, include the page address and the wording in question. Please do not email a complete lab report, personal health information or payment details unless the team has arranged an appropriate way to share it.
