Log a lab

Updated September 30, 2026

Add a lab to the board as soon as it's ordered, so everyone can follow it through to results. Only the lab itself is required.

Steps

  1. On the Labs board, click New Entry.
  2. Fill in Patient name and Client name.
  3. In Contact info, type a phone number or email, or paste a link. A link is saved as a clickable link; anything else is saved as text you can copy.
  4. Under Labs ordered, tap each lab that was run. To add one that isn't listed, type it in the box underneath. You need at least one lab.
  5. Under Ordered by (DVM), tap the doctor. For a relief vet or anyone not listed, type their name in the box below instead.
  6. Add Notes such as sample details or urgency.
  7. Click Submit Lab Entry.

The entry starts in your clinic's first status and shows up on the board right away.

Tip

Picking the doctor from the list (rather than typing a name) lets houndkit notify them when results are ready for their review. See Update a lab.

Note

The doctors listed come from your clinic's DVM groups. If you see every staff member instead, your clinic hasn't set up a DVM group yet.
