DNA testing for cats

DNA testing for cats analyzes their genetic material to determine traits such as breed, health risks, and ancestry. A small sample, usually taken from a cheek swab or blood, is sent to a lab where specific genes are examined. Results can reveal a cat's breed composition, identify inherited health conditions, and provide insights into their genetic background. These tests help owners make informed decisions about care, breeding, and potential health screening, offering a deeper understanding of a cat’s unique genetic makeup.
