A note from Dr. Kanouse

This is an exciting time, as you embark on your new relationship with your puppy or new dog. Or perhaps you are interested to learn more about a pet who has been part of your family for many years. We are anxious and excited, to do our best to keep your pet as healthy as possible throughout all of your years together, In that vein, we would like to inform you of a genetic testing service that is, in our opinion, far superior to the others. It is called Embark (embark.com), and you can do it at home with simply a swab of the cheek. Embark tests for over 165 different disease tendencies that your pet's breed or mix of breeds are prone to. This gives you the insight that would be impossible otherwise. Embark may be more expensive than other genetic tests, but they provide you with a difference that could truly over the course of time, 'make a difference.'
