There is no minimum age to take our genetic test; You can do it to your pet at any stage of its life. However, puppies and young animals are the age group that benefits the most from this type of analysis.
The great preventive value at early ages
Many hereditary diseases do not show symptoms or manifest themselves until the animal reaches adulthood or advanced age. By performing the DNA test when they are still young, you will be able to discover completely early if they carry genes associated with certain pathologies. This information will give you a fundamental clinical advantage to adapt their care, their lifestyle or their veterinary check-ups long before they express the disease.
Tips for taking the sample in young animals
The method we use is totally painless, easy and fast. To perform the test, you just need to gently rub the swabs along the inside wall of your mouth to collect cells and saliva.
Since biological age is independent for the success of the test, we leave the final decision to your discretion as a guardian: if you consider that your puppy is still too small in size, or is excessively nervous and intractable due to its extreme youth, you can always wait a few months for it to mature a little. The goal is for taking the sample to be a calm, correct and stress-free process for both of you.
