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.

We had the pleasure of talking to the fur-parent Brandy about her lovely Basepaws cat Lillie. Lillie was a loving kitty who sadly passed away last November.

On May 1st, 2020, we had the pleasure of speaking with 13 year old Emerson, who found two 10-14 day old kittens in a Walmart parking lot not long ago. The kittens were infested with worms, fleas, and were dehydrated.

Genetics and genomics both play roles in health and disease. Genetics is the study of genes and how certain traits or conditions are passed down from one generation to another. Genomics, on the other hand, focuses on studying of a person's genes (the genome).
