Services for all companion animals are categorized and described in the following sections.
Our genomics testing for dogs, cats, and horses analyzes up to 100 traits and 150 disorders, helping tailor care, detect risks like retinal atrophy or kidney disease early, and guide breeders in selecting healthy, desirable traits using advanced sequencing.
Our parentage testing for dogs, cats, and horses uses ISAG-standardized SNP markers and advanced sequencing to ensure accurate lineage verification. With up to 400 markers analyzed, our algorithms provide reliable parent-offspring identification, supporting breeders and organizations with precise pedigree validation and informed breeding decisions.
Our breed identity and composition analysis for dogs, cats, and horses uses next-generation sequencing and SNP microarrays to accurately determine breed makeup, verify purebred or mixed ancestry, and link genetic heritage to behavior and health traits. It supports breeders with pedigree validation and informed breeding strategies, delivering clear, actionable reports.


Our companion animal genomics services adapt human-style genomic testing to pets, empowering pet parents and breeders worldwide with transformative insights. Using advanced next-generation sequencing and SNP microarray technologies, we identify traits and disease susceptibilities early, enabling proactive health management and personalized care.
Our parentage and breed composition analyses satisfy curious pet parents and support breeders in making informed breeding decisions.
Backed by our cutting-edge lab and bioinformatics expertise, we deliver precise, actionable results to enhance pet health and strengthen the bond between pets and their families.

Our companion animal genomics testing for canines, felines, and equines analyzes 20-100 traits and over 150 disorders, delivering essential insights for pet owners and breeders.
Traits like coat colour, size, and behavioural tendencies, such as trainability or temperament, help pet owners tailor care and training. Disorder screening for common mutations and predisposition associations, like progressive retinal atrophy in dogs, polycystic kidney disease in cats, or laminitis risk in horses, enables early intervention for pet owners.

Our parentage testing for canines, felines, and equines ensures accurate lineage verification using ISAG-standardized SNP marker sets (more than 100 markers per set, up to 400 markers total), critical for animal breeding programs that rely on precise genealogical data to estimate breeding value and enhance outcomes.
The process involves collecting DNA samples (e.g., cheek swabs) from individuals or groups, analyzed via next-generation sequencing and SNP microarrays in our advanced laboratory. Our proprietary algorithms, utilizing Parentage Exclusion and probability methods, deliver reliable parent-offspring identification.
This service supports breeders, pet owners, and certifying organizations requiring genetic verification with actionable results for pedigree accuracy and informed breeding decisions.

Genetic testing is a process of testing genes and DNA to identify mutations or defects in the genes. These mutations can cause more than 3000 genetic disorders.
A genetic test is the ultimate diagnostic test. Once the disease-causing mutation is identified, prenatal diagnosis can be offered for all family members at risk to prevent genetic disorders. Some genetic tests identify a predisposition to cancer or other late-onset diseases so that preventive measures can be taken.
Genetic tests are either screening or diagnostic. Genetic screening tests will test if there is an elevated risk of a genetic disorder whereas diagnostic tests identify the defect with >99% accuracy. Genetic disorders can be identified at the chromosomal level or DNA level depending on the size of the defect involved. Cytogenetics (Karyotyping) is the study of chromosomes and Molecular genetics (Mutation analysis) is the study of DNA.
Not all genetic disorders are hereditary. Genetic disorders occurring in Somatic cells (cells other than Sperm or egg cells) are not hereditary. These genetic mutations are random events and cannot be passed to the next generation.
