Our intention has always been to make the kit as affordable as possible to dog and cat owners.

When we were first developing ThePetCheckup kit, we intended to include 6 complete tests in the kit and offer refills in quantities of 6, 12, and 24.

We had  a group of business students at Yale run some focus groups and  they found that many people were unfamiliar with urine testing and thought it would be difficult to do.  It’s actually very simple and once the group did their first test, they were totally comfortable with it.

Nonetheless, we decided to include 8 complete tests in the kit and  have been able to keep it that way since then.  It’s been a challenge with the cost of everything going up, so we’re quite proud of that.
