+353 (1) 685 6929 The DogCheck is a genetic screening of more than 175+ genetic variants that are related to hereditary diseases and traits. This is not a diagnostic test. Any unusual results (carrier or compromised) or results that are worrying should be discussed with your veterinarian. In addition, not every known genetic variant of diseases in dogs is included in the DogCheck. If your dog is symptomatic, please contact your veterinarian. Normal results do not rule out inherited variants that have not been tested in these or other genes and that may cause medical problems or be passed on to offspring. You should check the list of diseases and traits before ordering to verify that it includes the tests you want.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this DNA test identify the breed of my dog?
No this test does not provide any information about the breed of your dog. The test will provide information on genetic diseases and traits.
Can I do the test if my dog is on medication?
The test is based on your dog’s genetic data and there is no impact on the results if your dog is on some form of medication.
What does the result “at risk” mean?
The “at risk” result indicates that your dog may have inherited a copy or two of a mutation that has been reported to cause a specific genetic disease. Depending on the inheritance of a particular genetic disease, one or two mutated copies of the gene are required for a disease to break out.
What does the result “carrier” mean?
Being a carrier means that your dog has only inherited one mutated / altered copy of the gene from its parents. Your dog will most likely not develop symptoms of this condition as two mutated copies are required. However, this information is of great relevance for breeders, as carriers of a genetic disease may only be paired with free breeding partners.
How early can I do the test on my dog?
In principle, there is no minimum age. The only thing that is important is when collecting the sample is the time period between suckling and sampling is a minimum of 45 mins to 1 hour. If you collect a sample from a puppy who drank milk from the mother after a short time, there can be contaminations with cells from the mother in their sample. Please avoid this and give ample time after feeding.
