Oral Health Test

I adopted a pup from our local rescue from a litter of 7 puppies. They said she was a Retriever/Lab mix. My groomer said she looked like a Rottweiler bc of her coloring on her paws. I was relieved to see there was no Rotty in her DNA.

i was so surprised at the results but so enjoyed looking up each breed of dog that hazel has in her dna

Easy to use and mail back. Haven’t gotten results back yet. It’s only been a week.

I haven’t received the results back yet, but did have a small issues in which I needed to contact customer service, and they were wonderful!

It was nice working with such a professional agency. I'm glad to know my dog doesn't have MDR1 gene. I was surprised at her breed findings as I was told she was a Dutch shepherd when I adopted her at 5 months old. I'm worried about her hips now as she's 35% boxer and other shepherd breeds, none of which have curly tails like her. I was also surprised she is high on the inbred chart so I'll speak to vet about that.

Easy to process

It does take awhile to get results, but totally worth it! I have a rescue dog who is now my service dog, as well as a competitive athlete. Ethically I will retire him around age 10 but due to him being a rescued stray, I had no idea when I'll need to look at training his successor (it takes about 2 years of training). Now I know he's 3 years old. Looking forward to a nice long time with this partner by my side.

Our dog's oral test results came back from Prosper K9. On a scale of 1-10, he scored a 2 which is terrible. They were able to isolate the three bad bacteria that cause periodontal disease in dogs. One was medium, two were high, not good. The two main good bacteria he scored low on the quantity of these beneficial oral strains. Again not good. We adopted him a year ago, when he were told he was 1. The other ProsperK9 age test places him more in the age range of 3. I'm hoping once I share this report with our vet he can do some dental treatments to get his oral health back to a healthier state. One of the bad bacteria he scored of concern, P. Gulae is especially concerning because it can be transmitted to humans, no kisses for now. Also, it's been linked to mitral valve regurgitation disease according to one study. That condition can cause dogs heart murmurs and in time congestive hear failure. Our vet has his work cut out for him. We are so very glad to have this information because it's so important to see if we can improve not only his oral health now and in the future but prevent any health conditions to develop as he gets older. This is such an important vital test to the overall wellness for your pet.

Both of our dogs that were adopted were misclassified by the shelters. It was very helpful to understand what breeds actually make up our mutts.

Our family was surprised when these precise DNA results came in for our dog's breed. He was adopted from a dog rescue and were told that he was, according to their test results from a pet store DNA test kit a Chihuahua mix. The mix they said by their best guess was either a Dachshund and/or Jack Russell Terrier. Wrong! It took a more in-depth and experienced canine genetic testing company -Prosper K9 to test his DNA accurately. They discovered he was not any of the breeds the rescue stated! Well except the Dachshund part is one of his lines, but he has 4 other lines mixed into him. The primary one being Shih Tzu! No matter what he is, we love him all the same. We just wanted to know so we could familiarize ourselves with his real combination of breeds. The other parts of his results were outstanding! Not genetically predisposed to any health conditions. Awesome! Low results on inbreeding. Thank you ProsperK9 for clarifying all these true traits for our beloved pet and family. Your expertise, kindness and excellent customer service is greatly appreciated!

I have done the dog age test twice and I truly believe it was spot on and it’s great information to have when you don’t know when your adopted dog was born. Thank you!

Had age tests done for our 3 Amigos. The results were exactly what we thought for 2 of them and a surprise for the 3rd. Very cool.

Wow! I'm so glad we had Loki's DNA test done with Prosper K9. We sent in his buccul swab that was easy to obtain and mail in. That was for the "Dog Age and Personality' test. We received his test results in a PDF report. He was adopted, so we wanted to have his real age. His personality is on point! We couldn't be happier to have more insight into his true age to insure him and his personality to work on ongoing training with him. Thank you so much Prosper K9 for your wonderful product and professional service.

The ProsperK9 DNA test revealed much more detailed information about the breed of our dog and his potential predisposition to genetic illnesses. This test was more thorough than another brand test we had used, giving us much more useful information so we can understand how to care for our dog better.
We adopted our dog 3 years ago from a GSD rescue center and wanted more information to care for him better. He looks like a long haired German Shepherd and the test revealed he is a healthy mix of 4 different shepherd breeds - the good news is that he had not been interbreeding. We also found out that he is clear of predisposition to genetic illnesses. So great news.

I think these tests are worth it. If you’ve adopted a dog why not spend a little extra and get more information about your pet so you can understand their breed nature better (may help with training your pet) and find out more about potential health issues you can look out for and discuss with your vet as necessary.

I will be doing the ProsperK9 age test next.

Had my dog’s age tested – and they got it right to the month! Impressive. I was actually more curious about the personality test and these were incredibly to the spot. It is amazing to think how these chemical changes in our DNA can be predictive.
I think this is a very interesting approach to investigate the nature and life-span of our dogs – and these guys are making me curious about what else can be learnt by their method!

The interaction with them was easy and straightforward. The time to get the results was within the normal waiting times for genetic tests. I would definitely recommend this test and am curious about future tests from this young company.
