What are the differences between the Starter and Advanced DNA Kit? Can I expand my results?

At Koko Genetics we offer two dog DNA test options tailored to what you need to discover about your best friend. Both ranges are processed applying the latest data analysis technology through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which maximizes scientific reliability.

To help you choose the option that best suits you, here we explain their differences:

  • Starter DNA Kit for dogs or cats: This is our most accessible and cost-effective option. It is designed to get to know your animal's external biology in depth, offering dozens of reports related to their physical traits and analyzing hundreds of breeds to discover which ones they belong to.

  • Advanced DNA Kit for dogs or cats: It is our most complete option and the ultimate preventive tool. It includes everything from the Starter block (physical traits and breeds) and adds the vital health block, offering hundreds of detailed reports on genetic pathologies and hereditary diseases.

Regardless of the option you choose, both DNA tests will give you free access to the following tools in your private area:

  • DNA Connect: To find and contact other animals in our database that are related and share DNA with yours.

  • Family tree: A visual representation that allows you to discover the exact breeds of your pet's parents and ancestors.

  • Raw Data: The possibility of downloading the file with your animal's raw genetic data.

Can I upgrade the Starter test results to Advanced later?

Of course! If you purchase the basic kit and decide in the future that you also want to know the clinical information, you can upgrade your product for a very reduced price by purchasing our Advanced Upgrade.

The great advantage of this upgrade is that you will not have to extract or send a new saliva sample. Upon purchasing the upgrade, our laboratory will use the already sequenced genetic information and, in just a few days, you will see your account updated with all health reports unlocked.
