Dog genetic health test: screen for 4 inherited diseases

Adnà’s DogCheck 4 test looks for the mutations associated with four known inherited diseases in your dog’s DNA. It shows whether your dog carries these variants, so you can act early and discuss them with your vet. All it takes is a cheek swab, collected at home.

The 4 diseases analyzed

  • Degenerative myelopathy (DM)
  • Hyperuricosuria (HUU)
  • Exercise-induced collapse (EIC)
  • Von Willebrand disease type I

Some of these mutations are more common in certain breeds.

How to read the result

For each mutation, the report gives a clear result: clear, carrier or at risk, with an explanation. Carrying a variant does not mean your dog will develop the disease: it indicates a possible predisposition, or a risk of passing it on to puppies.

Who is it for?

  • Owners who want to complement their dog’s veterinary care.
  • Breeders who want to avoid passing on these diseases.

How much does the test cost?

The dog genetic health test costs €199, including the kit, the lab analysis and the report. There are no hidden fees.

How the test works

  1. Order online. Your kit arrives within 4 to 5 business days.
  2. Collect the sample by rubbing the swab provided inside your pet’s cheek for a few seconds. It is painless and safe.
  3. Send the sample back to the lab, following the kit instructions.
  4. Get the report by email, as a PDF.

Tip: avoid feeding your pet or letting it drink in the hour before sampling, and keep it from licking another animal.

Depending on the test chosen, the client can obtain breed identification, certain genetic predispositions to hereditary diseases, as well as physical or behavioral traits. This information can help better understand the animal and tailor its care.

The test is done at home using a cheek swab. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for genetic analysis and comparison with reference databases.

The analyses rely on validated genetic markers and breed databases. Accuracy depends on the test chosen and the genetic data available.
