Before ordering a pack

What does a pack include?

It groups all the tests listed in its sheet, all carried out in our own laboratory, with full sample traceability. The report gives the result of every variant analysed.

How is the sample taken?

A cheek swab with the kit we send to your home: swab the cheeks, let it dry and post it back to us. Step-by-step instructions are included.

How long does the result take?

Reference turnaround: 7 days from receipt of a valid sample.

Who pays for shipping?

The kit is shipped free to Spain, the EU and the UK. Shipping the sample back to the laboratory is paid by the customer.

Can I order with a company VAT number?

EU companies with a valid VAT number are not charged VAT (reverse charge); private buyers are charged Spanish VAT.

What if my animal is a carrier?

Being a carrier does not mean being affected: the report states the inheritance pattern, and it is best to discuss the result with your veterinarian before planning any mating.
