Overview
Swabbing the inside of the dog's mouth starts the process, and the kit is then activated and the sample goes back to the lab in the prepaid envelope. The result combines a breed breakdown, a health screen, an allergy risk score and relatives matching.
The wider health screen is the reason to choose this kit over a breed-only test, and the allergy score adds another angle for itchy dogs. The listing gives no turnaround time and no word on follow-up reports. Health results flag risk, not a diagnosis.
Who it's for
Owners planning health care around inherited risks, or breeders and adopters comparing relatives. Those who want only a breed guess, or a diagnosis, have no use for the extra screening.
Pros and cons
- Long list of health conditions screened
- Allergy risk score included
- Relatives matching included
- Prepaid envelope for the sample
- Results turnaround not listed
- Reports flag risk, not a diagnosis
- Activation step before sending
Performance notes
Results come from the lab analysing the swab DNA against its breed and variant database, so coverage of that database decides how finely mixed breeding is split. A clean sample matters, and the kit must be activated before the sample is sent. Relatives matching works only when related dogs are in the same database.
