Overview
The Dog DNA Test at DNA Labs India is a comprehensive genetic screening designed to provide pet owners with crucial information about their dog's breed composition, physical traits, and potential health risks. Using advanced microarray technology, the test analyzes specific genetic markers to identify breed ancestry and screen for over 150 inherited conditions, including drug sensitivities, breed-specific disorders, and physical characteristics such as coat color and size. This test is invaluable for early detection of genetic predispositions, enabling proactive veterinary care and informed breeding decisions. The test is performed in our NABL-accredited laboratory by experienced geneticists, ensuring high accuracy and reliability. With a simple blood sample collected from the comfort of your home, you receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report within 10 days. Whether you are a pet parent wanting to understand your mixed-breed dog's heritage or a breeder aiming to reduce genetic diseases, this test offers actionable insights to enhance your dog's quality of life.

The primary purpose of the Dog DNA Test is to establish genetic lineage, identify breed composition, and screen for inherited health conditions. It helps in confirming parentage, understanding breed-specific traits, and detecting mutations associated with diseases like drug sensitivities (e.g., MDR1), progressive retinal atrophy, and hip dysplasia. This information supports early intervention, personalized healthcare, and responsible breeding practices.
