# Pet Health Kits Petnostics' Urine Test Kit Uses an App for Instant Pet Health Insights By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-04-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petnostics References: [petnostics](http://www.petnostics.com/) Veterinarians often recommend periodic [pet urine tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urinary-tract-health-for-cats) in order to get a sense of a pet's health and possibly detect early signs that may lead to problems down the line—Petnostics makes it possible for pet owners to go through this entire process at home, without making a trip to the vet. The comprehensive kit sells for about $10 and includes a small cup that can be used to collect a sample from either a dog or a cat. Once collected, the top of the lid can be scanned with the [accompanying app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-app1) in order to provide a reading on the results. Considering that a single trip to the vet can cost hundreds of dollars, this affordable [at-home kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canine-health-screening-test) provides an easy way for pet owners to perform the exact same test at their own convenience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **At-home Pet Health Testing:** The rise of affordable at-home pet health testing kits enables pet owners to conveniently monitor their pets' health without the need for vet visits. - **Mobile App Integration in Pet Health:** The use of mobile apps in pet health testing kits, like Petnostics' urine test kit, provides instant and accessible insights into pet health conditions. - **Cost-effective Pet Health Solutions:** Affordable pet health kits, such as Petnostics' urine test kit, offer a more budget-friendly alternative to expensive vet visits for routine health monitoring. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Pet Healthcare:** The pet healthcare industry can leverage at-home testing kits, like Petnostics' urine test kit, to provide greater convenience and cost savings for pet owners. - **Mobile App Development:** The mobile app development industry can explore opportunities in designing and developing user-friendly apps that integrate with pet health testing kits for instant health insights. - **Consumer Product Manufacturing:** Consumer product manufacturers can tap into the growing market for at-home pet health kits, like Petnostics' urine test kit, by creating innovative and affordable solutions for pet owners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [At-Home Canine Gut Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gut-health-testing.md) - [Pet Microbiome Testing Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microbiome-testing-kit-for-cats-dogs.md) - [Vet-Approved Screening Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oncotect.md) - [Pet Diagnostic Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fompet.md) - [AI-Powered Pet Health Assessments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-health-assessment.md) - [Comprehensive Urinary Health Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stix-uti-test-and-treat.md) - [Pet Health Support Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddydoc-app.md) - [At-Home Urine Analysis Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-uscan-nutrio.md) - [Health-Tracking At-Home Urine Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athome-urine-test.md)
