Dental disease is a reality for most cats

Dental diseases in cats can be tough to spot with the naked eye, especially in the early stages. A test for detecting risks of the three main common dental diseases in cats is included in your DNA test because your kitty’s mouth is a gateway to their overall health – and we want to help protect every part of it.

Cat DNA results

It was very thorough. My daughter is a D.V.M., and she was impressed with the comprehensive data. Interesting for me, and I will share it with my cat's Vetererinarian.

Galit D.
Loved Basepaws

I had an inkling what breeds Bernie was. I used Basepaws to find out and was surprised of the results. My Bernie was a mix of so many cute cats. I learned a lot from the informative booklet received. I would gladly return again for my other pets.

Took a while but a very interesting report. It will take a while to absorb everything they sent.

Love the Information Given!!!

The health markers are an excellent way to follow your pet's health and an effective aid in your journey to be a proactive owner in taking care of your cat. I find this test, along with the oral test, very beneficial. To top it off, you can send the results directly to your vet so that they can help you in more ways than your typical health check up vet visit. I am very satisfied with these tests!!!
