Puppy Health Check
The Puppy Health Check offers genetic testing for inherited disorders in puppies. The check uses advanced technologies to identify and analyze variations in a pup's DNA, providing comprehensive insight into their overall health.
Breeders often only provide genetic health testing certificates for the parents of puppies, and there is no guarantee that the certificates are for the parents of your puppy, or that they are genuine. We believe that each puppy should have their own genetic health check so you know exactly where you stand for their future health.
Did you know that inherited disorders are not covered by pet insurance? Knowing that your puppy may develop an inherited disorder later in life means you can be financially prepared for any treatment or rehabilitation they may need at that point. Buy your puppy health check today for peace of mind.
We send out a smaller swab for puppies to ensure you're able to swab the inside of their cheek easily.
