Cutting-Edge Diagnostics Now Available for Australian Veterinarians

This partnership gives veterinarians across Australia access to MiDOG's advanced microbiome testing technology, offering a more accurate and comprehensive approach to diagnosing bacterial and fungal infections. Unlike traditional culture-based methods, which can miss up to 99% of microorganisms, MiDOG's NGS technology identifies all bacteria and fungi present in a sample down to the species level. This results in faster, more precise diagnoses, leading to targeted treatments and improved patient outcomes.

Dr. Dean Felkler, Founder & CEO of Exotic Vet Support, shared his experience:
" Receiving false-negative bacterial cultures can be frustrating for both the clinician and pet owner as this makes performing targeted therapeutic plans challenging. Repeating these samples can delay treatment and may require a repeat anesthetic to obtain. MiDOG's NGS technology eliminates this problem and provides a clear and thorough understanding of the organisms involved allowing accurate and rapid treatment. Their All-in-One Microbial test also provides a detailed report that displays all organisms present in the sample therefore decisions to add aerobic/anaerobic bacteria or fungal cultures (with additional associated costs) are unnecessary and outdated".

Meeting the Unique Needs of Australian Veterinary Medicine

Australia's diverse wildlife presents unique diagnostic challenges, particularly in reptiles, marsupials, and aquatic species. The MiDOG® All-in-One Microbial Test is designed to address these needs with:

• Enhanced Accuracy: Identifies all bacteria and fungi within a sample at the species level, ensuring no pathogen goes undetected.
• Rapid Turnaround: Provides results within 2–3 days, allowing veterinarians to make timely, data-driven treatment decisions.
• Antibiotic Resistance Insights: Detects antibiotic resistance genes, aiding in more effective treatment selection and reducing unnecessary antibiotic use.
• Broad Application: Suitable for all species, from household pets to reptiles, marsupials, and aquatic animals.

Dr. Krista Keller, an exotic animal veterinarian in California, emphasized the importance of this technology:
"Traditional culture-based methods have long been a limitation in diagnosing infections in non-traditional species. Having access to precise microbial profiling through MiDOG gives us an invaluable tool in improving patient care."
