The pdf I got back seems to be an exhaustive amount of data, though I did question one quirky result: It said the most recent thing my cat had eaten was dog, and we don't have one of those and don't often visit with people who have one (though I do love to see a pup, we just dont happen to know a lot of people who have dogs) and my kitty was an indoor kitty so there was little chance of her sneaking out and eating the neighbor's dog. I reached out to to Basepaw to ask about the result, mostly out of amusement, and was pleasantly surprised that not only did they answer back pretty quickly, but gave me some more information on what the result could mean, basically trouble shooting it with me. In the end, the dog thing still remains a mystery, but the other information of what her make up was, health concerns and more was very interesting to note and I was able to share the file with her vet so they could see the list of concerns she might be more predisposed to. Over all I was very happy with the product. Cons: Price-wise its not super cheap, and as to how accurate or effective testing this way is, well, I'm no scientist so impossible for me to say. It seemed to line up well with what I already knew about her, so I think at the very least I liked having it for some guidance on what might be the issue if she wasn't feeling well. I enjoyed going over it with friends and just having it, very similar in the way I think people enjoy things like 23 and me or other DNA testing kits for humans, so for me, it was worth the price, but I did wait for a Black Friday sale or similar discount. If you're getting a new pet, this might be a cool gift to ask for. If you've had your pet for years and just want a deeper dive into their specs, this again might be for you. If you do get it, sending it along to your vet might be helpful in their long term health letting them know what to look out for. Its not a fast process, you take the sample, then you send it in, and then you wait for them to receive it and then process it and get the results back to you. It takes the time it takes, but it does tell you as much on the box. It would be really cool if there was a data base to check so you find out a bit about the pet's family line if it was out there. Not information on the owners, but say how long they lived, if there were health concerns, if they had quirks like cat that really likes water, dog that figured out doors without being taught, etc, your dog's great great grand uncle was that dog that starred in Airbud or something. I'd love to see something like that as a future part of this type of product. Review: Informative and fun. - Great information. ## Features - EASY TO USE, IMPACTFUL RESULTS: Collect a sample, package it up, and send it securely back.

You will not need to re-purchase or re-test. **Q: I swabbed my cat just after he passed . Can I use these swabs?** A: Yes, we have worked with such samples and will try to get DNA from that swab, but timing is very important. Please send us an email ASAP to meow@basepaws.com for more instructions on how to store/send that swab to our laboratory. We are very sorry for your loss :( **Q: I don't understand the wildcat portion. housecats are descendants of an african wildcat, occasionally crossed with other small cats. where do come in?** A: While we know that our domestic housecats aren't directly descended from some of the classic wildcats like tigers and cheetahs, this is a fun comparison that is similar to when we put our human handprints compared to those of all other primates. In our database, some cats are indeed closer in various phenotypes to some wildcats than others! **Q: What machine are you using for sequencing and what polymerase are you using?** A: Basepaws uses Illumina sequencing and ligation-based library prep for breed comparison and amplitaq gold for health marker identification. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like 23 and me but for your pet *by T***T on February 3, 2026* This was easy enough to use if your pet is okay with you putting things in their mouth and not chewing on them, which fortunately mine was.
