Is the DogCheck a diagnostic test?

The DogCheck is a genetic screening test that analyzes over 320 genetic variants associated with hereditary diseases and traits in dogs. It is important to understand that this is not a diagnostic test. Any unusual results such as carrier or compromised findings or anything that causes concern should be discussed with your veterinarian.

Please note that not every known genetic variant linked to canine diseases is included in the DogCheck test. If your dog is showing symptoms, you should consult a veterinarian directly.

A normal result does not guarantee the absence of all inherited conditions. Variants that are not covered by this test could still pose health risks or be passed on to future offspring. Before placing your order, make sure to review the list of diseases and traits included in the DogCheck to confirm it covers the information you are looking for. 

Special Offers and Discounts

The price of the DogCheck test is $219.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this DNA test identify the breed of my dog?
No, this test does not provide breed information. It focuses on identifying genetic diseases and traits. If you are interested in breed details, we offer other tests such as the Dog Breed Identification Test and the KnowYourDog Genetic and Breed Test.

Can I do the test if my dog is on medication?
Yes. The test is based on your dog’s genetic data, so medication will not affect the results.

What does the result “at risk” mean?
An “at risk” result means your dog may have inherited one or two copies of a mutation associated with a specific genetic disease. Whether symptoms develop depends on how the condition is inherited. Our sample report provides a detailed explanation of this result.

What does the result “carrier” mean?
A “carrier” result indicates that your dog has inherited one mutated copy of a gene linked to a genetic condition. While your dog likely will not develop symptoms, this information is important for breeders, as carriers should only be bred with dogs free of the same mutation. More details are provided in our sample report.

How early can I do the test on my dog?
There is no strict minimum age for testing. However, when collecting a sample, ensure that at least 45 minutes to 1 hour has passed since the puppy last suckled. Collecting a sample too soon after feeding may lead to contamination from the mother’s cells. Always allow sufficient time after feeding before taking the sample.
