Igenity® Canine Wellness
Dogs Can Tell You Everything About Their Health
Igenity® Canine Wellness is a DNA test that identifies genetic traits in dogs and gives you information that will help anticipate health issues and offer individualized preventive care. It's much more than an ounce of prevention — it's a lifetime of improved health.
Genomics is an important part of a pet's medical history and allows veterinary staff and pet parents to work together to provide the best care possible. Igenity Canine Wellness reveals nutrition insights, cancer risks, predisposition to several hereditary diseases, and genetic influences on dogs' behavior. Identifying certain genetic factors can help you proactively monitor and mitigate risks with improved recommendations:
- Precautions to take before surgery for dogs at risk for clotting disorders
- Recommendations for exercise and lifestyle adjustments
- Suggestions for diet and healthy body weight
- Conditions to watch for as the pet ages
- Behavior predispositions to understand for training and lifestyle choices
All It Takes is a Simple Cheek Swab
The process is simple. A cheek swab is taken during an examination and sent to the Neogen® Genomics lab. Our team will provide results, along with pet parent education tools to help you guide clients. We also provide online resources that will help your practice comfortably navigate the world of canine genomics, and how to use this technology to its full potential.
