Most veterinary labs are running on systems that treat the patient name field like it belongs to one person, when in your lab half the patients are named Buddy. Reference intervals don’t account for breed. Lineage and herd data lives in spreadsheets. The result is a lab that works twice as hard to deliver the diagnoses that pets, livestock, and the practitioners caring for them need.
NovoPath was built to change that.

Uptime on cloud infrastructure
Companion animal case volumes keep climbing. Livestock and herd-health diagnostics are expanding. Practitioners expect faster turnaround and direct access to results. And every workaround your lab has built to make a human-medicine LIS function for animals is a workaround your team has to maintain forever.
Vet labs that thrive are the ones running on infrastructure that was built for veterinary work from the start.
Species, breed, spay/neuter status, microchip number, pen location: all the data that matters that you can't fields are missing.
Every other dog is named Buddy. When you can’t search reliably by owner, finding the right record takes too much time you don't have.
A reference range built for a 70kg adult human is not a useful comparison for a Great Dane, a Chihuahua, or a Holstein.
Practitioners shouldn’t have to call the lab to place an order or wait for a fax to come back. Your portal is your front door.

“I just want to get accurate results back to the vet clinic. Why am I retyping the species into the notes field every time? We should not still be working like this.”
“NovoPath finally treats veterinary like the specialty it is. Our techs stopped fighting the system and started focusing on the cases.”
Species, breed, lineage, and owner data structured into the platform from the ground up, not bolted onto a human-medicine LIS.
Age, species, breed, gender, spay/neuter status, microchip number, pen or cage location, and owner information captured in dedicated fields. Lineage documentation and animal alerts built in, not added later.
Reports configured with species- and breed-specific reference intervals and taxonomy. Diagnostic insights that are actually relevant to the patient on the slide.
Veterinary clinics place orders and receive results directly through the NovoPath portal. Automatic email notifications when reports are ready. Less phone tag, faster turnaround, fewer mistakes.
NovoPath gives veterinary labs a single, connected system for the full diagnostic lifecycle, from specimen receipt to clinic delivery.
Species and breeds supported across companion, livestock, and exotic animal work.

Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory
A growing veterinary diagnostic lab came to NovoPath needing a platform that could scale with rising case volume across companion animal and livestock work, without forcing their team to build workarounds for missing data fields. Now, their pathologists, techs, and the clinics they serve work from one connected system designed for the way veterinary diagnostics actually run.
A successful transition begins with a structured, proven approach.
NovoPath will be on-site to see first-hand how your veterinary workflows currently operate, from specimen receipt through results delivery to the clinic.
We’ll work with you to map current-state data flows, your species and breed coverage, and your clinic relationships to scope the future-state buildout.
After reviewing your resources and current environment, NovoPath will deliver a workflow analysis and an expected configuration plan tailored to your lab.
NovoPath will actively build the configurations required for your species coverage, reference intervals, taxonomy, and reporting templates.
The team will conduct extensive testing and validation across data fields, clinic portal access, and reporting prior to final delivery.
During delivery, we will work with you to issue the appropriate governances and permissions for user creation and role-based access.
SME-led validation sessions with your laboratory stakeholders to ensure the system accurately reflects real-world veterinary operations.
End-to-end testing of core workflows, including accessioning, case routing, results delivery, and clinic portal access in a controlled environment.
End-user training is conducted in parallel to ensure technicians, pathologists, and lab directors are confident and aligned before go-live.
Final production deployment of the validated system into the live laboratory environment.
Real-time go-live monitoring with dedicated support resources available to resolve issues immediately as users transition into production workflows.
Post-launch stabilization period focused on performance validation, user support, and rapid optimization to ensure full operational adoption and confidence.
Your historical case data, species and breed records, and clinic relationships move cleanly. Cases already in progress stay on track throughout the transition.
Labs Successfully Implemented
Almost without exception, labs that have made the switch tell us they wished they had done it sooner.
A team that has done this hundreds of times ensures your staff is confident before go-live.
A team that has done this hundreds of times means you are never navigating the unknowns alone.
When veterinary labs make the switch to NovoPath, here’s what changes across the board.
Species, breed, lineage, and owner data structured from day one, not bolted on
Direct portal access for orders and results, with automatic notifications when reports are ready
Microsoft-powered cloud infrastructure with the security and reliability veterinary labs require
NovoPath is more than just software. It is operational peace of mind for veterinary pathology labs: the foundation your team needs to support more species, more clinics, and more diagnoses with the precision animal medicine deserves.
Built by pathology people, for pathology labs. With 30 years and 100s of labs to prove it. Plus, we’re animal lovers ourselves.
