The Kennel Club DNA Testing Services

Brought to you by The Kennel Club in partnership with Weatherbys. Testing your dog for all your breed’s recommended DNA tests can be time consuming, expensive and sometimes confusing. The Kennel Club DNA Testing Services offers a simple and cost-effective way to DNA test your dog for that particular breed's priority DNA tests from just one swab.

Test your dog with The Kennel Club's DNA Testing Services

DNA tests allow you to better understand your dog’s genetics. These types of tests can tell you if your dog is likely to be affected by specific conditions or whether they may pass on the genes associated with these conditions if they're bred from. The Kennel Club’s DNA Testing Services offers a simple and cost-effective way to DNA test your dog for the priority DNA tests for their breed. By choosing our breed-specific packages, you can check your dog for a number of different genetic mutations all at the same time, making health testing easy and saving you from organising individual tests from several different laboratories.
