Why it matters
A cheek swab identifies breeds from a 350+ breed database, with results online in 2–3 weeks and a downloadable certificate. The report covers breed-related health risks, traits and care tips based on breed makeup, not a genetic disease panel. DNA My Dog claims over 99% accuracy.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Low price
- Fast
- Simple
Cons

- Smaller database
- Accuracy is maker claim
Limitations to weigh
- Breed results are estimates from the maker's reference database, and health screening shows genetic risk, not a diagnosis; discuss any health result with your vet before acting.
