About Us
ProsperK9 is built by Matteo Pellegrini, a geneticist and dog owner whose university lab studies dog genetics and epigenetics.
We started with a whole-genome DNA test. We are building the Healthbook: a free, lifelong health record for every dog, with the genome underneath it and an AI Health Advisor that helps you and your vet make sense of it all.
The Premium DNA Test
Breed by chromosome, 450 inherited conditions and drug sensitivities, oral microbiome and the AI Health Advisor, from one cheek swab. Becomes the first chapter of your dog’s Healthbook; $139 for Healthbook members.
FAQ

Explore our FAQs to find the answers
How do you collect samples from your dog?
We ship an easy-to-use swab to collect saliva samples from your dog. You can see a video of the collection process.
What is the Healthbook?
A free, lifelong health record for your dog: vet visits, labs, vaccines, notes and photos in one timeline, with an AI Health Advisor that answers questions from your dog’s own records. It gives guidance to discuss with your vet; it is not a veterinarian and does not diagnose.
Do I need the DNA test to use the Healthbook?
No. The Healthbook is free and works on its own. The Premium DNA Test is optional: it adds the whole genome as the first chapter of the record, and Healthbook members buy it for $139 instead of $159.
How long will it take to receive the test results?
We will send your results within 2-6 weeks
