Analyze Gene Variants
DNA is analyzed for specific gene variants linked to more than 200 known inherited diseases and health conditions.
Dog genetic health screening checks your dog's DNA for gene variants linked to 200+ inherited diseases and conditions, giving Canadian owners an early-warning risk profile rather than a diagnosis. DogDNATest.ca's health screening feature is built into the DogCheck 4.0 line of tests, with results meant to guide — not replace — a conversation with your veterinarian.
Browse our featured breed, health, allergy, parentage, age, and wellness testing kits.
Genetic screening analyzes selected DNA variants associated with known inherited conditions. Results provide useful context, but they should always be interpreted alongside your dog's history and professional veterinary advice. You can explore the broader dog DNA test features before choosing a panel.
DNA is analyzed for specific gene variants linked to more than 200 known inherited diseases and health conditions.
Each screened marker is organized into a clear, carrier or at-risk category based on the detected variant pattern.
All flagged findings should be discussed with your veterinarian before making medical, lifestyle or breeding decisions.
Your dashboard organizes screened markers into easy-to-review categories. A flagged result identifies a genetic risk pattern; it does not confirm that your dog has a disease.
The tested disease-associated variant was not detected.
A relevant variant was detected and may be passed to offspring.
A variant pattern associated with a higher likelihood was detected.
Genetic risk information can give owners, breeders and veterinary teams additional context before symptoms appear or important care decisions are made.
A genetic marker can provide an early reason to discuss monitoring, preventive care or additional clinical testing with your veterinarian.

Browse genetic health screening testsDogCheck 4.0 provides broad inherited-disease screening, while the Patent Panel version expands the panel for owners or breeders who need additional genetic coverage.
Choose a health screening kit for your dog or compare leading Canadian test options before deciding which level of coverage fits your needs.
It means your dog carries the gene variant pattern associated with a higher likelihood of a specific condition. It is not a diagnosis.
DogCheck 4.0 screens more than 200 conditions; the Patent Panel version expands screening further.
No. It is a screening tool meant to support, not replace, clinical diagnosis.
