How it works

This is how a cheek test goes from test set to result report when a test is available.

Select an available test

See which tests are open for the species, and what the package contains. Price, shipping and expected processing time must be displayed before you pay.

Collect the sample at home

You take the sample from the inside of the cheek following the instructions that come with the sample kit, and send it to the designated recipient.

Sample being analysed

The laboratory analyzes the markers included in the package. The laboratory, method and sample handling must be stated before the order is opened.

Read the results report

GenePaws displays the laboratory results in a digital report with explanations, sources and limitations. The veterinarian assesses the animal's health.

A result is a starting point, not a conclusion

The report shows the results for the variants that have been examined. It alone cannot tell whether the animal is healthy or sick. If you are worried about your health, the vet is the right authority. The result can be included in the assessment.
