Dog Family Relationship DNA Test
G Pet DNA testing protects your beloved pet.
Recently, more and more pet owners are seeking to adopt pets with excellent pedigrees. If a superior dog or cat comes with a DNA certificate, the commercial value of that pet will increase significantly. Through DNA certificates, you can establish the authenticity of your pet and scientifically manage bloodlines (breeding, birth, adoption, etc.), greatly enhancing the value of your pet.
Parentage Verification Test
Like humans, this test determines whether the parent's genotype matches the offspring's genotype using STR genes.
Offspring inherit 50% of the same genotype from each parent. By comparing the parent's genotype with the inherited genotype of the offspring, we investigate the match and statistically analyze the possibility, showing 99.9% accuracy.
Testing is conducted using standard genes recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG).
Individual Identification Test
Using DNA extracted from samples, this method tests the unique STR genotype of each individual, also known as a DNA profile.
Like human fingerprints, DNA profiles visualize different DNA regions for each individual, making it the most useful method for identifying individuals when needed.
Keeping test results can help confirm the identity of a pet when lost or be used as evidence to prove blood relationships by comparing with different individuals' genotypes.
Maternal Lineage Test
This method analyzes specific sequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which is inherited only through the maternal line, to test whether a maternal blood relationship is established.
Among mitochondrial DNA, the hypervariable region's sequence is analyzed, which varies greatly between individuals and has no crossover, providing very high accuracy.

Cystinuria (Cyst)
A disorder where cystine absorption in the kidneys is not properly performed, causing kidney dysfunction. In normal kidneys, reabsorption occurs in the tubules, but when problems arise in this process, large amounts of cystine are excreted in urine, forming stones in the kidneys, bladder, and urethra, damaging the kidneys. Stone pain causes loss of appetite, weight loss, hematuria, and frequent urination. Severe cases can lead to urinary tract infections and inflammation, resulting in death.
▶ Gene Name: SLC3A1, SLC7A9
▶ Inheritance: Autosomal Recessive
▶ Affected Breeds: Newfoundland, Labrador Retriever, Australian Cattle Dog, Miniature Pinscher, and related mixed breeds
Hyperuricosuria (HU)
A disorder where uric acid levels in urine become very high, causing stones to form in the bladder and kidneys. There is intermittent or persistent severe bleeding and pain during urination, and in severe cases, it can lead to urethral obstruction and infection. Besides genetic causes, stones can form when fed meat and fish high in purines or food high in calcium, requiring caution and increased water intake.
▶ Gene Name: SLC2A9
▶ Inheritance: Autosomal Recessive
▶ Affected Breeds: All breeds
Dog Tumor Genetic Test
G Pet DNA testing protects your beloved pet.
A tumor is an abnormally growing mass resulting from autonomous overgrowth of body tissue, classified as benign tumor or malignant tumor. Benign tumors grow slowly and do not metastasize, while malignant tumors infiltrate surrounding tissues, grow rapidly, and spread or metastasize throughout the body, threatening life. Therefore, malignant tumors are synonymous with cancer. If a tumor is suspected, it can lead to fatal consequences, so it is very important to check your pet's health status through genetic testing in advance.
Canine Lymphoma (CLP)
Lymphoma is a cancer that occurs in the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system, mainly occurring in the skin, lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow. It is one of the most common tumors in dogs, accounting for about 80% of blood-type tumors. Once it occurs, survival time is very short even with chemotherapy. Lymphoma shows various symptoms depending on the location of cancer cells, but more often there are no clinical symptoms despite symptoms like loss of appetite, weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, and respiratory difficulties. Lymphoma is a systemic disease, so surgical removal is difficult, and chemotherapy is essential.
Mast Cell Tumors (MCT)
Mast cells function to protect the body by releasing histamine when foreign substances are detected, strengthening immune function and eliminating foreign substances. However, mast cell tumors occur when these mast cells become malignant. Among dog skin tumors, mainly 16-21% are mast cell tumors, occurring in the trunk, genitals, legs, head, and neck areas. Most cases are malignant, requiring surgery followed by chemotherapy. All breeds can develop mast cell tumors, but they occur more frequently in elderly dogs.
Transmissible Venereal Tumor (TVT)
An infectious disease that occurs when tumor cells are implanted through external genitals via scratched skin or mucous membranes during mating, occurring in both males and females. TVT occurs more frequently in young females with strong reproductive capacity compared to other tumors because it spreads through mating. It also occurs in areas other than genitals, including respiratory tract, eyes, nasal cavity, and oral cavity. Treatment includes surgical removal, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. If the tumor is small, treatment with surgery and chemotherapy is possible. Since TVT is a malignant infectious tumor, it is necessary to avoid mating contact to prevent transmission.
Dog Infectious Disease Genetic Test

Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by viruses or bacteria that can pose a serious threat to your dog's health. Early diagnosis and prevention are very important, and genetic testing can accurately confirm infection. Special attention is needed especially for puppies or pets with weak immunity.
Canine Parvovirus (CPV)
Parvovirus is one of the most fatal viral diseases for puppies, especially dangerous for young dogs. When infected, severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration occur, and delayed treatment can lead to death. The virus spreads through feces and can survive in the environment for a long time, making it highly contagious. Vaccination and early diagnosis are essential, and prompt treatment when infected significantly increases survival rates.
Canine Distemper Virus (CDV)
Distemper is a highly contagious viral disease in dogs that affects multiple organs including the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems. Initially showing symptoms like fever, loss of appetite, eye discharge, and runny nose, it progresses to vomiting, diarrhea, and neurological symptoms like seizures. Especially when it invades the nervous system, it can leave sequelae or lead to death, making vaccination very important. It spreads through secretions or excretions of infected dogs.
Canine Coronavirus (CCV)
Coronavirus is a viral disease that infects the dog's digestive system causing diarrhea. Most cases show mild symptoms, but symptoms can become severe if co-infected with parvovirus. When infected, symptoms include sudden diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and lethargy, easily spreading to other dogs through feces. Young puppies are at risk from dehydration, so caution is needed. Recovery is possible with appropriate fluid therapy and symptomatic treatment.
