Charlie has an impawtant reminder: your cat's oral health impacts their overall wellbeing! 🦷

Early dental disease is hard to spot, but advanced conditions like periodontal disease can cause more than just bad breath—they can affect your cat's entire body 🫀

Our Oral Health Test analyzes your cat's oral microbiome to reveal insights beyond what's visible, assessing risk for the top 3 dental diseases.

Since oral microbiomes constantly change, follow-up testing tracks how your cat's oral health evolves. Being proactive minimizes surprises and keeps your cat comfortable and pain-free 🙌

They’ve also been stars in folklore, pop culture, and even history, proof that tuxies really do like the spotlight 🌟

In honor of , tell us: does your tuxie act more like a suave secret agent or a silly class clown?

When Coco Chanel said, 'Black is always elegant' - clearly she was talking about dogs! 🖤

Black is the most common coat color because the gene for black coat (the B allele) is dominant. Here's what that means in simple terms:

🧬 Think of genes like a game of rock-paper-scissors. The black gene almost always "wins" when paired with other color genes.

🔢 A dog only needs ONE copy of the black gene from either parent to have a black coat. Other colors (like brown/chocolate) need TWO copies of their specific gene to show up.

🐶 Labs, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, and Newfoundlands are famous for their beautiful black coats, but almost any breed can rock the black look!

Intro to Basepaws Cat DNA Testing

Basepaws is a pet genetics company. We provide detailed insight into your cat’s health, lineage, physical traits, health, and genetic markers for potential hereditary disease. We study most common hereditary disease and report on traits which can affect the animal late in life, thus giving the owners and veterinarians a specific action plan. We can test hundreds of thousands of genetic markers and dozens of genetic diseases and are working with researchers on more data points. Every owner joins our community and participates as a citizen scientist to create a database of genetic data to be used in research. Our mission is to make life better with genetics for animals everywhere. 🧬Check out our report here ⬅️ Sign up for updates and new blogs on our website ➡️ www.basepaws.com
