Basepaws is a pet genetics company. We developed the first consumer genetics test for cats which includes detailed information about breed and ancestry, physical traits, health, and genetic markers for potential hereditary disease. This is the first feline report to include over 150 different results, and the only consumer feline test currently available. The CatKit is available for sale on our website.
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 disease 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.
