Telford Vet Hospital pilot study

Home / Resources & Insights / For Veterinary Professionals / Case Studies / Telford Vet Hospital pilot study
In the summer of 2021, Embark partnered with Telford Veterinary Hospital to offer genetic screening to their patients.
Many veterinarians worldwide have been offering genetic tests for years and pet owners have brought at-home genetic test results to their veterinarians. This study was designed to gauge client and veterinary fit for the genetic screening product, a unique offering developed to fit veterinary workflows. The pilot study also measured the value to Telford Vet and the veterinarians, pet owners, and the dogs tested.
The main goals of the pilot study were to gain insight regarding practical in-hospital experience with Embark genetic screening and to measure client responsiveness to the medical recommendations generated by Telford Vet as a result of the test results.
This pilot study between Telford Vet and Embark demonstrates that clinic-driven genetic screening can positively impact the standard of care. It can be integrated easily into the standard veterinary workflow to drive value to veterinary hospitals, veterinarians, clients, and pets.
Telford Vet plans to continue to regularly offer genetic screening based on the value offered to them in the pilot.
