Basepaws is excited to announce that it is adding over 80 genetic health and trait markers to its flagship at-home Breed + Health Cat DNA test. In total, the test will now screen your cat for over 120 markers and will offer features that no other direct-to-consumer (D2C) test provides.

These updates are informed by the latest scientific research to ensure that you receive information of the highest quality and that we continue to provide the most advanced health screening products available to support your cat’s overall well-being.
We are pleased to announce an update to our Breed + Health Dog DNA Test. This latest version includes over 200 genetic-related disorders, analyzed through more than 280 health markers.

As of November 2020, the coronavirus pandemic is here to stay. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has had a devastating impact on public health and the economy. Recent months have also brought the news that pets too can get infected with the virus.

Did you know that dental disease is the #1 condition affecting cats? 70% of cats have developed some form of dental disease by the time they are 3 years old. I don’t want to scare you, but periodontal disease affects up to 80% of ALL adult cats. Gum disease affects 70% of all cats. Tooth resorption affects up to 60% of all cats, and over 70% of cats over the age of five. These statistics are appalling, made even worse by the fact that our cats can’t talk, and thus suffer until it’s too late.

As we celebrate our five-year anniversary, Basepaws is as committed as ever to our amazing community of pet parents. This is truly a celebration of you, since your unwavering loyalty and support has been integral to this journey. We’ve come a long way since our early days as a startup company, so we want to take this opportunity to share some updates about our feline health product pricing as we expand our operations, team, and product offerings.
