IDEXX Animana has integration with VetConnect Plus (VCP) where you are able to order IDEXX Reference lab tests directly from the patient file and access the results in the patient file. This article will explain how VCP can be linked to your IDEXX Animana account.
Before you start
- Before you continue you will need to have VetConnect Plus login details. You can request a login here.
- Only users with administrator privileges are able to add the VCP credentials in Animana.
