Description

CatCheck Genetic Disease Test

The CatCheck Genetic Disease Test is a comprehensive feline DNA screening option for owners who want broader inherited-health insight for their cat. Instead of focusing on one condition, this test screens for 75+ genetic diseases, blood groups, and traits, giving cat owners, breeders, rescues, and catteries a more complete view of important inherited-health information.

This test can be useful for understanding genetic predispositions, supporting responsible breeding decisions, and organizing health information that may be discussed with a licensed veterinarian.
