About This

• THE ALL-ROUND HEALTH TEST FOR BREEDERS AND DOG OWNERS: The DogCheck 4.0 test screens for 320 inherited diseases, traits, coat colours and coat textures. Results are issued within 3 weeks of receipt of samples at the laboratory. This test does not provide any information about your dog’s breed. Please see our other tests for breed tests.
• THE COMPREHENSIVE GENETIC HEALTH REPORT for your dog provides one of three possible outcomes – Clear, Carrier or At Risk - and will help you identify risks of genetically inherited diseases. Please check the images for a full list of the inherited diseases, traits, coat colours and textures covered by this test. Results are issued within 3 weeks of receipt of samples at the laboratory.
• SIMPLE & EASY SAMPLE COLLECTION: Samples can be collected simply & painlessly using the supplied cheek swab. There is no minimum age and nursing puppies can be tested. They should be separated from the dam for about an hour before swabbing their cheeks. This ensures no milk will be in their mouths to possibly contaminate the sample and that we get the puppy’s DNA instead of the Mum’s DNA.
• COMPLETE TESTING KIT: The DNA Sample Collection Kit contains 1 x sterile mouth swab for 1 dog, step-by-step sample collection instructions, registration form & return envelope.
