General questions

  • Comprehensive testing: We provide detailed results for all tests, so you will know whether your cat carries predispositions for any of the included genetic diseases. Moreover, coat colour and trait tests, as well as the genetic blood group determination are also included.

  • Universal applicability: The package is recommended for cats of all breeds and for mixes with unknown genetic background, as it contains both breed-specific and cross-breed tests.

  • Bonus information: Even if you are primarily interested in specific genetic tests, you will gain additional relevant genetic information by choosing this package.

  • Support science: With your purchase you will support the scientific research on the genetic health of our animal companions.

You will typically receive the results of the LABOGenetics XXL cat package within 2 – 3 weeks due to the extensive testing.
Tip: If you want quicker insights, check out our large selection of individual tests. These can often be offered with a significantly shorter examination time.

In rare cases, not all test results can be obtained. Such results are marked as “not evaluable”. f a test that is particularly important to you and your cat breed could not be obtained within the LABOGenetics XXL package, you can reorder it at a particularly reduced price as a single analysis for € 20. If more than three test results are not generated, your order will be cancelled and will remain free of charge for you. You can then send in a new sample, which we will analyze again. If you have any questions or would like to reorder, please contact labogen@laboklin.com

We strongly recommend submitting an EDTA blood sample as blood contains up to 100 times the amount of DNA compared to a buccal swab. Alternatively, you can request specially optimized swabs when you place your order. If a cheek swab is taken correctly, the desired results can also be obtained. Please only use the specially optimized swabs and not the swabs from our standard test kit.
