Could it be that your cat’s oral health is a window into their health? While there are many measurements that can help determine how healthy your cat is, don’t be surprised when your veterinarian spends some extra time examining your cat’s oral cavity. This is because cats can experience some serious and painful dental diseases that can shorten their lives-which is why we're going to dive into the role dental cleanings for cats can play in a cat's overall wellbeing.

February is National Pet Dental Health Month, and Basepaws is excited to share two new pet oral health research projects for which we are actively recruiting: a clinical study on canine periodontal disease with veterinary partners, and a feline stomatitis study with both citizen scientists and veterinary partners.

The Basepaws Breed + Health Cat DNA test digital report now offers a five-star scientific evidence grading system for every genetic health and trait marker result. The genetic markers in our report represent a deep dive into the available feline genetics research, including the very latest findings.
