GENETIC (DNA) TESTING:
Advances in Canine Genetic testing can now tell you whether your pet carries a gene mutation that can lead to a deadly bleeding disorder like Tye 3, von Willebrand disease. If you have a mixed breed dog, it can reveal your pet's mixed heritage. By knowing the parentage our Veterinarians can accurately determine the genetic diseases your pet at risk. As in human medicine, the potential exists for personalized medicine for veterinary patients in which medical care is tailored to the individual patient based on his or her genetics.
We are proud to announce the availability of genetic tesing at Summit Boulevard Animal Hospital for breed identification, parentage testing, phenotype trait testing such as coat color and gentic disease testing.
Why you need to do genetic disease testing? Knowing your pet has bleeding disorder like von Willebrand, our Veterinarians to pre treat your pet prior to any surgical procedure. This pre treating will help to prevent complications during and after surgery and help to save your pet's life and additional expense.
The following genetic tests are currently available.
