For which dogs is the test suitable?

The DOG CHECK DNA test for dogs is suitable for all breeds and mixed breeds from 8 weeks of age. All you need is a small saliva sample from your dog.

How long does the evaluation take?

Once your sample has arrived at the lab, you will usually receive your results within 4 to 6 weeks. You will be notified by email as soon as your report is available digitally.

Is my data protected?

Yes. Your data and your dog's genetic information will be treated confidentially and stored in compliance with GDPR. Your results are visible only to you and will not be shared with third parties.

Does the test replace a visit to the vet?

No. The DOG CHECK genetic test for dogs is a scientifically sound tool for genetic orientation and does not replace a veterinary examination, diagnosis, or treatment. It is intended for healthy dogs and helps you better understand their genetic predisposition. In case of any health issues, we always recommend consulting a veterinarian.

Understanding drug tolerance genetically

MDR1 test in dogs

MDR1 is a genetic defect that affects the tolerability of certain medications. Affected dogs may react sensitively to some active ingredients – for example, in deworming, parasite treatments, or anesthetics. The DOG CHECK DNA Health+ reliably analyzes the MDR1 gene and shows whether your dog is clear, a carrier, or affected. This provides you with important information for safe veterinary care – especially relevant for herding breeds and mixed breeds of unknown origin.
