Why Test with AlphaDog DNA?
At AlphaDog DNA, we believe in testing every dog for all available genetic mutations to provide the most comprehensive actionable information possible. Mutations can arise in any breed, and genetic studies often focus on small groups of specific breeds. However, we know that these mutations can also appear in other breeds, sometimes unexpectedly. That's why our "whole dog" approach includes a comprehensive complete panel covering health, color, appearance, and behavior for each dog. With our testing, you can trust that you’re getting the fullest, most detailed understanding of your dog's unique genetic makeup.
By testing with AlphaDog DNA, you’re contributing to ongoing research and discovery. We value your feedback because no one knows your dog like you do, and your insights are essential to advancing the health and well-being of all dogs.
