Cats can be difficult to read, and their breed mix or genetic predispositions may not be obvious from appearance alone. This cheek-swab DNA test is made for cat owners who want genetic insights to inform everyday care and conversations with a veterinarian. Its breed, health and dental findings bring several kinds of information together in one report.

What can the Basepaws breed and trait report tell me?

The report analyzes your cat in relation to 21 cat breeds and examines 50 trait markers. It also includes a chromosome map, giving you several ways to explore your cat’s genetic profile rather than relying on appearance to guess at breed composition. These insights can help you understand individual needs and make more informed choices about an at-home care routine.

• Breed composition analysis for your cat.
• Trait-marker insights presented with a chromosome map.

What health information does the Basepaws cat DNA test screen?

Basepaws screens 64 health markers associated with 43 diseases for which a cat may have a genetic predisposition. The results are intended to help you better understand potential genetic risks and make proactive care decisions. Use the findings as information to discuss with your veterinarian; the screening helps inform that conversation rather than replacing veterinary care.

• Health-marker screening focused on genetic predispositions.
• Results that can support planning with your cat’s veterinarian.

What does the Basepaws dental health report cover?

The pack includes a free dental health report that assesses risk related to periodontal disease, bad breath and tooth resorption. It provides personalized recommendations for at-home dental care, which can help you plan preventive steps and work with your veterinarian. Dental health is also relevant to broader wellbeing: conditions including diabetes and chronic kidney and heart disease are linked to dental health.

• Risk insights covering three dental concerns.
• Personalized guidance for at-home dental care.

How do I use the Basepaws test, and can its report change?

Collect your cat’s sample by swabbing the inside of the cheek, then send the sample back to the U.S.-based Basepaws laboratory. The resulting report is designed as a living document: it will update as Basepaws expands its feline genomics database. By joining the Basepaws Cat Community, you and your cat can also contribute to research intended to advance feline genomics and improve cats’ lives.

• Sample collection uses a cheek swab.
• Report updates follow growth in the feline genomics database.

This two-kit pack suits cat owners who want breed and trait insights, genetic health screening and dental guidance for their cats. It is especially useful for households seeking information to shape at-home care and support conversations with a veterinarian; the cheek-swab sample and evolving report bring those insights together.
