Our in-depth look

Who it's for

Owners of mixed-breed and rescue dogs who want to understand their dog's background, and anyone wanting early insight into inherited health risks.

Who should skip it

If you only want to know the breed, the cheaper breed-only kit is enough. A DNA test doesn't diagnose illness.

Tips

Don't let your dog eat or drink for about 30 minutes before swabbing. Share any health findings with your vet before acting on them.
