DNA Testing
At VO Vets, we offer
Dog & Cat DNA Testing in Fort Worth, TX
VO Vets is able to provide DNA testing for dogs and cats to get additional, important information about our patients and provide proactive care. Every dog and cat is unique, and their genetics can tell us a lot about their health and what conditions they might be predisposed to throughout their life.
We use Basepaws for our cat and dog DNA testing in Fort Worth. Basepaws gives us access to tools that can help us keep your pet several steps ahead of genetic disease and deliver treatment that is more closely tailored to their specific needs.
What It Looks For

Each test comes with a detailed, easy-to-read report that measures your pet’s disease risks and gives an overview of potential diagnostic and treatment recommendations.
