When it comes to the breeding and health care of our canine companions, there just never seems to be enough time to get everything done. At GenSol, our goal is to ensure that you receive your genetic test results FAST so you can move forward with making important decisions that impact your business and your pets. Breeding requires making decisions like sire and dam combinations, puppy homing, and making healthcare decisions ranging from disease diagnosis to treatment options. No matter the decision, waiting weeks for important dog genetic testing results just doesn’t work. At GenSol, you don’t have to wait more than 48 hours after your samples arrive at the lab to get the information you need for making critical breeding and healthcare decisions.
As a breeder, your first decision typically starts with choosing the right sire and dam combination. Two important things to consider when making this choice is preventing genetic disease and producing coat type or color that supports the breed standard. Since many disease and coat mutations are recessive, you won’t know if the parents carry the mutation without DNA testing results. More importantly, without knowing the genetic status of the parents, you won’t be able to predict the outcome for the litter and could unknowingly produce puppies with disease or an improper coat. Once the puppies are born, the decision now comes down to which puppies are kept for breeding stock or sold to pet parents either with or without breeding rights. Similar to the dam and sire, recessive mutations that can’t be seen in the puppies won’t allow you to make informed decisions without knowing the genetic status of each puppy. When you use GenSol’s services, you can test a puppy as soon as they’re born to make the homing process even easier.
Similar to breeding decisions, healthcare decisions also can’t wait weeks for results. A good example is the test for Multi-Drug Resistance or MDR1. This test detects the presence of a mutation that can cause a dog to have a bad reaction to different drugs including anesthetics and different medications. This is a critical piece of information that can help a pet parent or veterinarian decide which medications and what doses are appropriate to avoid life threatening reactions prior to surgery or treatment. Similarly, when trying to diagnose a condition like Degenerative Myelopathy or DM, knowing sooner than later the genetic status of the dog can avoid continuing with more expensive diagnostic options. DM can present symptoms similar to arthritis or trauma which require more in depth and expensive diagnostics to differentiate. With a quick genetic test result it is possible to rule out more expensive diagnostics and start the process of developing a treatment plan.
At GenSol, we have developed an innovative laboratory workflow that significantly reduces the time from sample to result because we know how important breeding and healthcare decisions are for breeders and pet parents. While other companies have complex multi-step processes to get a result that can take weeks, GenSol’s proven approach gets accurate results you can trust in just hours! Don’t take our word for it. Just search for your current genetic testing company and read their reviews. It will become clear quickly that no other company can get you the results you need as fast as GenSol because we know how important it is for your business and the health of dogs everywhere.
