The future of animal DNA testing is here

At Basepaws, we care about cats so much - we think they can change the world. We think cat health is critical and genetics is one of the pillars of optimal cat care. As cat parents, we want to know everything about our cats. We want there to be more feline research. We want those findings to improve the lives of our cats, and cats everywhere.

Why get your Pet’s DNA sequenced
