They complement each other:
- The Koko Genetics test: you collect the sample at home, and we analyse traits, breeds and, with the Advanced test, numerous health-related genetic variants at the same time. It's an informative screening test, ideal for getting to know your pet better and understanding what may be worth discussing with your veterinarian.
- A genetic test performed through your veterinarian: the veterinarian verifies the animal's identity, collects the sample and sends it to a veterinary laboratory, usually to investigate a specific disease. This is the appropriate route for confirming a result, supporting a diagnosis or obtaining a certificate required by a breed club.
If our test detects a relevant variant, your veterinarian may request this confirmatory test before making any decisions.
