BuyWhat does the Koko Genetics pet DNA test offer?
Everything your pet could want, if it were a geneticist. Our pet's DNA test will explain in detail many characteristics about your dog's health, well-being, and traits. It's not just a genetic exam: it's a source of information to better understand your friend.
What breed is my dog?
With over 400 breeds in our database, it may be time to confirm your companion's lineage. Furthermore, we will provide you with their family tree up to their great-grandparents.
Health and diseases
Could your dog have genetic diseases that you don't know about? Are you worried about pathologies that may arise with age?
Physical traits
Much of your dog's physical traits come from its genes. Do you want to know where its characteristic fur comes from? The shades that are in its eyes?
We show you the results so that both pet and owner can understand them
With years of experience behind us, we have created a simple and modern version that can be viewed comfortably from any device.

DNA Connect
Connect with other dogs through DNA.
We have developed a new service, Koko Genetics' DNA Connect. With this tool, we aim for two things. Firstly, to acquaint you with other dogs that may be related to yours. Secondly, finding dogs that share genes with your pet can be a new source of information, including relevant clinical and health data! And maybe even a third possibility: seeing your pet playing with one of their relatives.

All the diseases we analyze in dogs are monogenic, meaning they are caused by mutations and alterations in a single gene. Therefore, if we detect changes in the gene that regulates that pathology, your dog will develop the disease. However, presenting the disease and how it is presented are two different ideas. Even monogenic diseases are modified by the animal's metabolism and the environment around them. With our test, you will know which diseases your dog has, but also the environmental factors and lifestyle that influence its severity and evolution, and act in response. The disease and its severity are different, it's time to tilt the balance in their favor.
To perform the test, you need to pass swabs through the inside of your dog's mouth and collect as much saliva and cells as possible. The age is independent, although we leave it up to your discretion to wait until the puppy is mature enough if it is too small or nervous.
We will try to have the results for you as soon as possible. Dogs have a shorter life than us, so we will try to have the report ready within 4-6 weeks, in human time, from when the sample arrives at the laboratory. We will notify you by email that you can already view them, and you can see them in the private area of our platform from a PC, mobile or tablet, as well as download them in PDF. Remember to read them to your pet, dogs may have trouble interpreting letters.
We work with traits and diseases that have been studied in depth, so the results we offer are 100% reliable. In case any of the investigations used in our results were modified by later studies or the authors themselves, we would make the necessary changes without any cost to the users.
The results are completely anonymous and confidential. Once you register the genetic test, the data is automatically converted into an encrypted alphanumeric code. Neither the laboratory nor during the analysis, access to personal data is allowed. We follow European legislation rigorously in this regard and have established both physical and computer barriers to protect the privacy of your pet, because dogs deserve all the good things.
