Customer Story | The Application of Seamaty in Exotic Pet Healthcare at a Shanghai Veterinary Hospital

Exotic pets have become increasingly popular among young people, fulfilling their desire for novelty and individuality while providing emotional companionship. These pets are often self-sufficient and require minimal care, making them ideal for those living fast-paced lives in limited spaces.

Recent data shows that approximately 17.07 million people in China are now keeping exotic pets, with the market valued at nearly 10 billion yuan. This trend is primarily driven by highly educated and high-income individuals, particularly from the post-90s generation.

However, the growing number of exotic pets has exposed significant challenges in their healthcare. Unlike dogs and cats, which benefit from well-established community-based medical resources, exotic pets face a severe shortage of specialized healthcare services. In China, exotic pet healthcare is still in its infancy, with a limited number of professionals, outdated diagnostic equipment, and underdeveloped medical technologies. This makes timely and effective treatment for sick exotic pets a daunting task.

Against this backdrop, Shanghai Guagua Pet Hospital has emerged as a trusted haven for exotic pet owners, offering professional exotic pet medical services and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. The hospital provides comprehensive services, including disease diagnosis, surgical treatment, routine preventive care, and nutritional guidance. It tailors its approach to meet the unique needs and habits of different exotic species, offering customized care.

In recent years, the increasing number of exotic pet owners has significantly boosted the hospital's caseload. However, the scarcity of resources and the challenges of exotic pet healthcare, particularly in blood sample collection and preoperative examinations, have posed significant hurdles. Due to their small size and fine blood vessels, collecting blood samples from exotic pets is particularly difficult.

To address these challenges, Shanghai Guagua Pet Hospital introduced the Seamaty Minilab Vet, a miniature laboratory capable of performing comprehensive tests, including biochemistry, blood gas and electrolytes, and immunofluorescence, using just 0.1 milliliters of blood. (Note: This product is currently available for sale only in mainland China. We will provide notification if it becomes available in international markets.)

The Minilab Vet also comes equipped with a specialized panel for exotic pets (covering 19 parameters) tailored to the diagnostic needs of birds, reptiles, rodents, and other exotic species. This innovative application has significantly enhanced the hospital’s ability to deliver precise and effective treatments for exotic pets.

Feng Wenli, an exotic pet expert at Guagua Pet Hospital, shared her experience with the Seamaty device:
"When we first encountered Seamaty, there were very few similar products available domestically. We were initially unfamiliar with it, so we conducted extensive comparative testing to ensure reliable performance. After rigorous evaluation, we decided to adopt the Seamaty system. With this equipment, we now approach exotic pet cases with greater confidence and can provide them with more accurate treatment plans."

Today, an increasing number of exotic pet owners choose Guagua Pet Hospital, confident in its ability to provide their beloved pets with the best possible care. With its professional team and advanced equipment, the hospital has become a leader in exotic pet healthcare.

As technology continues to advance and medical innovations emerge, exotic pet health will receive even greater attention and assurance. The partnership between Seamaty and Shanghai Guagua Pet Hospital reflects this promising trend. Together, they are paving the way for better healthcare and compassionate care for exotic pets, ensuring a brighter future for these unique companions in our shared world.
