Frequently asked questions
What can a pet DNA test tell me?
Depending on the test, DNA testing can identify breed ancestry and screen for genetic mutations linked to certain inherited diseases or drug sensitivities. That can help you and your veterinarian plan preventive care and watch for breed-related health concerns.
How is a DNA sample collected?
Most pet DNA tests use a simple cheek swab or a small blood sample, depending on the lab. Collection is quick and painless. We send the sample to the testing laboratory and share the results with you when they come back.
Is a DNA test useful for a mixed-breed pet?
Yes. For mixed-breed dogs especially, knowing breed ancestry can explain size, behavior and possible inherited health risks. Health-marker screening can flag genetic risks worth monitoring. A DNA test doesn't replace exams, but it adds useful information to your pet's long-term care plan.
