PET DNA TESTING AT ENO ANIMAL HOSPITAL
We understand you want the very best for your fur baby, and that means planning for a long, healthy, happy life. DNA testing can help us plan for a bright future. Genetic testing is a great invention of modern medicine and an amazing breakthrough in preventative wellness care.
WHAT IS DNA TESTING?
One of the coolest things in veterinary medicine today, full DNA testing reveals the exact breed mix of your dog. Your pup’s genetic makeup is a strong indicator of future health issues and chronic conditions. A DNA test is a one-time preventative screening that helps us be as proactive as possible in our care.
By knowing your dog’s genetics, we can formulate a precise, even more personalized plan: diagnostics, nutrition, preventative check-ups, and regular monitoring for any symptoms.
HOW DO WE DNA TEST?
At Eno Animal Hospital, we use the Embark testing kit, which is designed to be low-stress and guarantees no unknown results.
A Fear Free team pro gently collects a saliva sample with a soft swab for 15 seconds. The testing is quick, painless, robust, 99% accurate, and offers results within three months. Remember: DNA testing is prognostic, not diagnostic, which means it can predict markers of potential health issues in the future but not catch or diagnose any issue now.
Results in hand, your Eno vet will provide an expert interpretation of your dog’s results and advice about what to look for going forward. Plus, once you know your fur baby’s exact breed mix, you could throw a “breed reveal” party!
BOOK TODAY FOR DNA TESTING
We can do the Embark DNA test at any visit. Even better, if your pet is up to date on a wellness exam and vaccines, a quick visit with a vet assistant to collect the sample is all you need.
Simply book a visit online or call our team at (919) 471-0308. We’re always here to give your fur baby the best care.
