We build bonds around the care of a pet. We connect parents, pets, and vets in a collaborative process.
In this post, Basepaws shares important changes to its Cat DNA Test digital report. Learn about recent updates to genetic health markers, such as for the heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and fun information about cat coat genetics.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common feline heart condition. The Basepaws Breed + Health Cat DNA test now screens for two additional genetic health markers associated with HCM to let pet parents know if their cat is at a higher risk for the disease.
Basepaws recently updated its flagship Breed + Health Cat DNA test to screen for 25 genetic traits that are represented by 50 genetic markers. In a new section of the upgraded Basepaws digital report, pet parents can now learn about the genetic markers that may play a role in determining their cat’s likely blood type.
