Understand the MiDOG Report

The MiDOG report brings complex microbial findings together in a clinically organized format. Watch this guided walkthrough to learn how to review detected organisms, understand relative abundance, navigate antimicrobial resistance information, and identify additional findings included with your selected testing option.

Use the report alongside the patient’s clinical signs, medical history, sample type, collection site, and other diagnostic findings. If questions remain, MiDOG offers complimentary veterinary consultations to help your team review report-specific results.

Onboarding FAQs

What if another team member handles submissions?
Share this resource center with them and confirm their access needs with MiDOG. Let us know if submission, report, and billing contacts are different.
Is Parasite-Only testing the same as the full All-in-One Test?
No. Parasite-Only testing is a focused option when the principal question concerns parasites. Review the testing options above before choosing your configuration.
Can I submit a sample from a patient already receiving treatment?
Share the medication, timing, and clinical history with our veterinary team. Ask for case-specific sampling guidance; do not change prescribed treatment based on collection instructions alone.
Do samples need cold packs?
MiDOG’s published guidance does not require ice for samples properly prepared in its collection system. Follow the instructions supplied with your kit.
What if my sample is delayed or cannot be processed?
Contact us with your sample ID and tracking details. Our team can clarify the submission’s status and any next steps.
Where do I pay an invoice?
Use the MiDOG secure invoice-payment page. For questions about a charge or invoice details, contact our team.
How do I get portal access?
Contact MiDOG with your name and practice details if you have not received access instructions. If your practice already has an account, tell us so we can help you access the correct one.
Do I need to complete both the portal entry and a separate submission form?
Contact us if you are unsure which route applies to your practice. Tell us whether the sample has already been registered so we can help you avoid duplicate entries.
What if I cannot collect the recommended amount?
Contact MiDOG with the sample type and available volume before submitting. Ask whether the amount is suitable and whether it could affect interpretation.
What if I notice an error after submitting?
Contact us with the sample ID and the information that needs correcting. Let us know whether the sample has already shipped.
Are collection-kit shipping and sample-return shipping the same charge?
They are separate parts of the process. Contact us to confirm the charges and return-shipping arrangements applicable to your order.
Where can I get help with a report?
Use the report resources above or contact MiDOG to request a veterinary consultation. Have the sample ID and your questions ready.
I am a pet parent. Can I use this page?
This resource center is designed for veterinary teams. Please work with your veterinarian to discuss testing and patient-specific results.
