Question 1

Can I upload a photo of the vet results?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Simply convert the photo to PDF or ensure the text is legible. We accept JPG and PNG images as well as PDFs.

Question 2

Do you support cats?

Accepted Answer

Yes, BioStack supports full analysis for Canine and Feline blood work. Our AI automatically detects the species and applies the correct reference ranges.

Question 3

Which veterinary labs do you support?

Accepted Answer

We support reports from IDEXX, Antech, VCA, and any local veterinary clinic. Our AI extracts biomarkers from any standard vet lab format.

Question 4

Is Pet Health Tracking a free feature?

Accepted Answer

Pet Health Tracking is a Premium feature. Upgrade to analyze your pet's blood work and track their health trends over time.

Question 5

How often should I upload my pet's blood work?

Accepted Answer

We recommend uploading blood work after each vet visit, typically once or twice a year for healthy pets. Senior pets (7+ years for dogs, 10+ years for cats) benefit from more frequent testing every 6 months.

Question 6

What biomarkers do you track for pets?

Accepted Answer

We track common veterinary biomarkers including kidney function (Creatinine, BUN, SDMA), liver enzymes (ALP, ALT, AST, GGT), blood cell counts (RBC, WBC, platelets), thyroid levels, and more depending on your pet's lab panel.

Question 7

Can I track multiple pets?

Accepted Answer

Yes! With BioStack Premium, you can create separate profiles for each of your pets. Each pet maintains their own health history, trends, and species-specific reference ranges.

Question 8

Is this a replacement for veterinary care?

Accepted Answer

No. BioStack is a tool to help you better understand your pet's lab results and track trends over time. Always consult with your veterinarian for diagnosis, treatment, and medical advice.

Question 9

What if my pet's results look concerning?

Accepted Answer

If BioStack flags any markers as out of range, we recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment with your veterinarian to discuss the findings. Early detection is key to managing many pet health conditions.

Question 10

What's the difference between human and pet blood work analysis?

Accepted Answer

Pet blood work uses completely different reference ranges than human labs. For example, a normal creatinine level for dogs (0.5-1.5 mg/dL) differs from cats (0.8-2.4 mg/dL) and humans. BioStack automatically applies species-specific ranges to ensure accurate interpretation.

Question 11

How does the AI detect my pet's species?

Accepted Answer

Our AI analyzes the lab report format, header information, and biomarker names to automatically identify whether the patient is a dog, cat, or other animal. Common veterinary labs like IDEXX clearly indicate species, but our AI can also infer from context clues in the report.

Question 12

What is SDMA and why is it important for pets?

Accepted Answer

SDMA (Symmetric Dimethylarginine) is an early kidney disease marker that can detect kidney decline up to 9-12 months before traditional markers like creatinine show changes. This makes it invaluable for senior pet monitoring and early intervention.

Question 13

Can I share my pet's health report with my veterinarian?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can export a PDF summary of your pet's blood work trends and key findings to share with your vet. This helps your veterinarian see the bigger picture of how your pet's health has changed over time.

Question 14

Do you support exotic pets like rabbits, birds, or reptiles?

Accepted Answer

Currently, BioStack fully supports dogs and cats with species-specific reference ranges. For exotic pets, we can extract and display biomarker values, but reference ranges may vary significantly by species. We recommend consulting your exotic animal veterinarian for interpretation.

Question 15

How accurate is the AI analysis compared to my vet?

Accepted Answer

BioStack uses the same reference ranges as major veterinary labs (IDEXX, Antech) to flag markers as normal, high, or low. However, it's a tool to help you understand and track results - not a replacement for your veterinarian's clinical judgment and physical examination.
