At-home dog blood test in Richmond, VA.

Dog bloodwork at home, alongside your vet.

A home draw can be part of a wider routine-care plan. Wellhound focuses on blood testing and a record that brings results together over time. It is not a full mobile vet clinic in Richmond, VA. Your dog still needs their usual examinations and any treatment or urgent care recommended by a veterinarian.

If the reason for your search is a dog who is sick now, contact your vet rather than waiting for beta enrollment. Wellhound's application is for a planned service, not a route to immediate assessment. You can use the enrollment conversation to explain existing care and ask how the proposed visit would fit around it.

Richmond and nearby communities.

The beta includes Richmond as a starting region. Owners in Henrico, Chesterfield, Midlothian, and Mechanicsville can apply and ask the team to check the proposed visit address. Listing those communities does not guarantee coverage at every address. Service availability and the actual appointment are confirmed before booking.

Use the address where the dog will be seen, especially if your mailing address differs. Share access details during the private booking conversation, such as stairs, entry instructions, or where the dog is most comfortable. If a caregiver needs to be present, discuss that ahead of time. The aim is a clear arrangement rather than assumptions made from a regional label.

Which panel and records should you prepare?

Core is Wellhound's starting panel for dogs under 7. Senior is for dogs 7 and older and giant breeds 5 and older. The final menu is confirmed before booking. Your veterinarian may advise additional tests or a different schedule based on your dog's health and medicines.

Gather existing blood and urine reports if available and keep their dates attached. Share current medicines and any known handling concerns. The team supplies preparation instructions for the specific visit. Do not independently fast your dog or hold a prescription because an online guide suggests it. Ask the clinic or booking team to clarify anything that conflicts with your regular vet's instructions.

What to expect from the Virginia beta.

First home visits are planned for November 2026. Wellhound will cover half the cost of lab testing for all beta members. You do not need payment details to apply. Before booking, confirm the panel, visit availability, and how results and questions will be handled.

Results are intended to be reviewed by a veterinarian against your dog's available history and shared as a clear record. Testing supports care but does not rule out every condition or establish every diagnosis. Keep the regular veterinarian in the conversation and ask who will coordinate a recommended follow-up. A useful report should connect to an understandable next step.
