Know what we’re checking.
We’ll explain the tests and what your dog’s visit involves before you book.
It started
with Scout.
Scout started whining, eating grass, and biting his paws. We thought he was just getting older.
After we put him down, our vet mentioned those can be signs of a stomach issue. Scout was never diagnosed.
Nobody was tracking the changes. I'm building Wellhound so your dog's changes get a second look.

OUR STARTING POINTSo much love.
So much love.
More understanding.
You notice the small things. The pace of a walk. An unfinished dinner. The way they lean into you at the end of the day.
You know them better than anyone. But some changes are hard to see. Wellhound brings blood testing home, so their vet can look at what’s happening inside alongside what you notice every day.
Past tests. A new medicine. The week they stopped finishing dinner. Those details belong together, ready when you or their vet need them.
More time understanding them.
More life alongside them.
We want you to have fewer unanswered questions about your dog. Bloodwork can help start the conversation. Their vet makes a plan, and Wellhound helps you carry it out.
HOW WE GOT HEREA clearer purpose.
A clearer purpose.
The same love of dogs.
- 01 / SPEAK
Start with the gap.
What if the changes you notice between vet visits were easier to understand?
- 02 / LISTEN & LEARN
Build around real life.
Start with bloodwork at home. Keep their results, your questions, and their vet’s advice together.
- 03 / WELLHOUND
Begin close to home.
We’re starting in Charlottesville, Richmond, and Northern Virginia, with priority for older dogs and dogs on daily medicine.
CONFIDENCE, WITH CONTEXTClear about the numbers.
Clear about the numbers.
Thoughtful about what’s next.
Keep their story together.
Past tests and the things you notice stay together, ready for their next visit.
