BuyWhat does the Koko Genetics pet DNA test offer?
Everything your pet could wish for if they were a geneticist. The Koko DNA test will explain in detail numerous characteristics about your pet's health, well-being, and traits. It’s not just a genetic test: it’s a source of information to better understand your friend.
What breed is my dog?
With over 400 breeds in our database, it may be time to confirm your companion's lineage. Furthermore, we will provide you with their family tree up to their great-grandparents.
Health and diseases
Could your dog have genetic diseases that you don't know about? Are you worried about pathologies that may arise with age?
Physical traits
Much of your dog's physical traits come from its genes. Do you want to know where its characteristic fur comes from? The shades that are in its eyes?
We show you the results so that both pet and owner can understand them
With years of experience behind us, we have created a simple and modern version that can be viewed comfortably from any device.

DNA Connect
Connect with other dogs through DNA.
We have developed a new service, Koko Genetics' DNA Connect. With this tool, we aim for two things. Firstly, to acquaint you with other dogs that may be related to yours. Secondly, finding dogs that share genes with your pet can be a new source of information, including relevant clinical and health data! And maybe even a third possibility: seeing your pet playing with one of their relatives.

All the diseases we analyze in pets are monogenic, meaning they are caused by mutations and alterations in a single gene. Therefore, if we detect changes in the gene that regulates that pathology, your pet will develop the disease. However, having the disease and how it manifests are two different things. Even monogenic diseases are influenced by the animal’s metabolism and its surrounding environment. With our test, you will know what diseases your companion has, as well as the environmental factors and lifestyle elements that affect their severity and progression, allowing you to take action. Disease and its severity are different matters—it's time to tip the balance in your pet’s favor.
To perform the test, you need to swab the inside of your pet’s mouth and collect as much saliva and as many cells as possible. Age is not a factor, but we leave it to your judgment: if the puppy is too young or restless, you may want to wait until it matures before conducting the test.
We will try to provide you with the results as soon as possible. Our pets have shorter lives than we do, so we aim to complete the report within 4-6 weeks (in human time) from the moment the sample arrives at the laboratory. We will notify you by email when they are ready, and you can view them in the private area of our platform from a PC, mobile, or tablet, as well as download them in PDF format. Remember to read them to your pet—animals may have trouble interpreting letters.
We work with traits and diseases that have been studied in depth, so the results we offer are 100% reliable. In case any of the investigations used in our results were modified by later studies or the authors themselves, we would make the necessary changes without any cost to the users.
The results are completely anonymous and confidential. Once you register the genetic test, the data is automatically converted into an encrypted alphanumeric code. Neither the laboratory nor during the analysis, access to personal data is allowed. We follow European legislation rigorously in this regard and have established both physical and computer barriers to protect the privacy of your pet, because dogs deserve all the good things.
