Additional information
Explore your cat’s genetic health profile
Just like humans and dogs, cats can carry genetic variants associated with certain inherited conditions.
The CatCheck DNA Test analyzes specific genetic mutations linked to several hereditary diseases in cats. The test identifies whether a cat is clear, a carrier, or at risk for certain genetic conditions.
Understanding these genetic markers can help owners gain insight into their cat’s genetic health profile.
Conditions analyzed
The test analyzes mutations associated with several inherited feline conditions, including:
- Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
- Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKDef)
- Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
- GM2 Gangliosidosis
Some of these conditions occur more frequently in certain breeds but can also appear in mixed-breed cats.
Why perform this test?
Genetic testing may help:
- Identify hereditary mutations linked to certain diseases
- Provide additional information about potential health risks
- Support preventive veterinary care
- Inform responsible breeding programs
How the test works
The test is quick and non-invasive.
- Order your DNA testing kit.
- Collect a cheek swab sample from your cat using the swab provided.
- Send the sample to the laboratory for analysis.
- The DNA is examined to detect mutations associated with the conditions tested.
What you will receive
Your report includes:
- Results for each genetic mutation analyzed
- Interpretation of the findings
- Explanations to help understand the results
These results provide insight into your cat’s genetic profile but do not replace professional veterinary diagnosis or care.

Questions?
What information will I receive?
Depending on the test selected, you may receive breed identification, genetic predispositions to inherited conditions, and physical or behavioral traits. These insights help better understand your pet and guide care decisions.
How does the test work?
The test is performed at home using a cheek swab. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for genetic analysis and comparison with reference databases.
Are these tests reliable?
The analysis is based on validated genetic markers and breed databases. Accuracy depends on the selected test and available genetic data.
Who are these tests for?
These tests are useful for curious pet owners, adopted animals with unknown origins, or breeders wanting better genetic insight.
