The Advanced Canine Health Genetic Screening empowers you with invaluable insights into your dog’s health and behaviour. By identifying potential genetic conditions early on, you can take proactive measures for better management and potentially prevent these conditions from being inherited by future generations through selective breeding.

About The Test
In the timeless bond between humans and dogs, scientific progress has unlocked insights into the genetic complexities affecting our canine companions. Our convenient at-home test kit allows you to screen your dog for a range of genetic markers associated with inherited diseases and traits, including coat colour and hair length.
By delving into your dog’s unique genetic composition, you gain valuable knowledge to optimise their lifelong care. Identifying potential genetic conditions enables early intervention and improved management, with the potential to prevent these issues from being inherited by future generations through selective breeding.
Benefits
Genomic screening serves as a proactive measure to identify if your dog carries genes associated with health issues covered by the test. This valuable insight empowers responsible breeding decisions and equips your veterinarian with information essential for early detection and management of potential conditions.
Upon receiving your report, you’ll receive a concise summary of the findings, including any traits your dog may pass on to offspring and any genetic changes linked to specific conditions. The report also indicates whether your dog is a carrier and outlines the potential implications for future litters.
Genetic Disorders
Genetic disorders in dogs arise from mutations in genes, which can be inherited from their parents or occur spontaneously. These mutations can lead to approximately 400 inherited disorders identified in dogs, impacting various aspects of their health, including vision, skin health, and immune response.
Different modes of inheritance include:
Autosomal Dominant: A single mutated gene copy is sufficient for the dog to display the trait or disorder.
Autosomal Recessive: Both gene copies must be mutated for the dog to exhibit the trait or disorder.
X-linked: Linked to mutations on the X chromosome, affecting males more profoundly due to their XY chromosome makeup.
Carrier Status
When a dog is labelled as a “carrier,” it indicates that they possess one mutated gene copy associated with a disorder but do not exhibit any symptoms themselves. In autosomal recessive conditions, the dog must inherit two copies of the mutation to manifest the disorder. Carriers have a 50% chance of transmitting the mutation to their offspring.
Samples
All we require for the test is a straightforward mouth swab. Upon placing your order, we’ll dispatch a sample collection kit to your doorstep. Using the kit is effortless; simply collect the sample at home and return it to us using the prepaid envelope provided.
Screened Conditions
Please note that this test does NOT provide information about your dog’s breed.
Our comprehensive analysis examines 154 genetic markers, identifying gene variants associated with 134 prevalent inherited disorders across various categories:
Ophthalmic Disorders: Eye-related issues.
Dental Disorders: Problems affecting teeth and gums.
Neurological Disorders: Nervous system issues.
Immunological Disorders: Immune system dysfunctions.
Endocrine Disorders: Hormonal imbalances.
Skeletal Disorders: Bone abnormalities.
Respiratory Disorders: Breathing problems.
Hepatological Disorders: Liver conditions.
Dermatological Disorders: Skin problems.
Metabolic Disorders: Metabolism or enzyme irregularities.
Hematological Disorders: Blood disorders.
Gastrointestinal Disorders: Digestive system problems.
