Your pet's DNA test results

The information you want to know about your dog's health and wellness

What information do we provide you?

Health and diseases

The results of your pet's DNA test will tell you whether he has certain diseases or whether he has a genetic predisposition, a higher risk, of suffering from them. This is done by comparing its genome with that of other dogs registered in databases and analysing it on the basis of different published research and discoveries. Thanks to our test, you will be able to take the necessary measures to improve their quality of life, prevent or alleviate the development of pathologies and have this knowledge if you were to breed and have puppies.

Physical traits

Once an archaeologist, when asked if he could tell from the skeleton of two dogs whether they were of the same species, after thinking about it, his answer was possibly not. Few species have as many varieties in their individuals as Canis lupus familiaris. Do you want to know what traits make your dog so unique, due to its genetics? With our test you will discover parts of your best friend that you would never have imagined.

Dog breed DNA test

According to the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, the world canine organisation, there are an estimated 343 different breeds of dog. But there are still many breeds that have not been registered even though other institutions and breeders claim they are independent enough to be considered unique. The test lets you know what percentage of each breed your dog is. Whether it is a pure pedigree breed or the most adorable animal ever put up for adoption, you will be able to confirm and know its origins.

How do we give you the results of your pet's DNA test?

Once we have your pet's results, you will be able to log in to our website intranet using your user login. We remind you that before accessing the report, you can block some sections if there is information about the animal that you do not want to know. Once you log in, you will see the report divided into three sections: Health, Traits and Breed. In each section you will be able to see the results of the animal with an explanation of what each item means and the possibility to review the scientific studies that deal with the topic you are interested in seeing (a specific disease, a breed...).

Why do I need this information?

The pet DNA test from Koko Genetics offers a wealth of information about their health, derived from their genetic code. As their owner and family, they may not understand the results, but you will, and you’ll be able to make a series of decisions to improve their quality of life.

Identification of genetic predispositions to disease. Genetic testing can identify genetic pathologies in your pet, allowing you to take early preventive measures to avoid or delay the development of the disease.

Health improvement. For some diseases, we won’t just tell you the predisposition—we will directly tell you whether your furry pet has them or not. With knowledge of your pet's genetic diseases, measures can be taken to improve their overall health, such as a proper diet, exercise, and preventive medical care.

Although we may not be able to analyze some diseases, their predisposition and symptoms can vary between different animal breeds. Knowing which breed or breeds your pet belongs to can help you stay more vigilant.

Training personalization. If your pet competes or you plan for it to participate in a competition, knowing the animal’s genetic characteristics can help personalize its training and make it more effective.

Identification of inherited traits. Genetic testing can help identify inherited traits in animals, which can be useful for breeding and selecting individuals for reproduction.

Identification of breed and lineage. Genetic testing can help identify an animal's breed and lineage, which can be useful for registration in competitions and pet shows. It can also provide insight into some of their needs and possible requirements.

Out of curiosity, especially in adopted animals. Don't you want to know about your new four-legged best friend, that beautiful mix of breeds, and which ones are predominant? Who could their parents be? We help you find out!

More information

Family tree

In our results, we also provide the family tree of your dogs. By analyzing your dog's genetic material, we can uncover its lineage and ancestors. We will tell you the breeds of its parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents in a tree so detailed that you might be tempted to hang it above your canine companion’s bed.

We will present you with one to four breeds for each ancestor of your pet. This way, you will not only know the breeds of your companion, but also the breeds that have led them to this point. A glimpse into the past, courtesy of the genes of the present.
