- KNOW YOUR DOG’S TRUE BIOLOGICAL AGE: This DNA test determines your canine’s biological age by measuring the length of its telomeres. These telomeres, which are caps at the end of the chromosomes, shorten with age. The length of a dog’s telomeres is then matched with thousands of similar dogs to establish its true genetic age.
- IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE: There are many factors that may result in a higher than average genetic age in dogs. Dogs that have had a life of stress and medical issues may fall in this category. This may also be an indicator of undiagnosed illness in your dog including heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
- YOUR PET’S WELLBEING: The Genetic Age test is designed to determine the age of your dog at a genetic level so you can be proactive with the wellness of your dog. It is also designed to assist in age determination where age is not known. It reports the tested dog’s genetic age, not actual age or chronological age. This test is not intended to offer medical advice, it is not diagnostic and is for informational purposes only.
