Ideal for dog breeders, veterinarians, and pet owners, the Schbit Breed Health Kit offers the tools you need to ensure your dog’s lifetime wellness by detecting over 250 genetic markers linked to common diseases, as well as evaluating the Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI) to optimize breeding decisions.

Key Features & Benefits of the Schbit Breed Health Kit:

1. Dual-Test Reliability
   This two-pack kit allows for confirmatory testing or testing of multiple dogs, providing flexibility for breeders or veterinary professionals managing several animals. Whether you need a second test or are testing two different dogs, the Schbit Breed Health Kit offers great value and reliability in one package.

2. 300+ Breed Detection with >95% Accuracy
   The Schbit Breed Health Kit identifies your dog’s breed composition with over 95% accuracy, covering 300+ recognized AKC breeds. This provides a detailed breakdown of the genetic mix in your dog, helping you understand its ancestry, temperament, and behavioral traits based on breed characteristics.

3. Health Risk Screening for 250+ Genetic Markers
   The Schbit Breed Health Kit includes 250+ genetic markers related to common inherited diseases in dogs, such as:

   • MDR1 Drug Sensitivity: This condition affects a dog’s ability to metabolize certain drugs, which can lead to toxicity or adverse reactions.

   • Degenerative Myelopathy: A neurological disease that affects the spinal cord, leading to progressive weakness and paralysis.

   • Von Willebrand’s Disease: A bleeding disorder that affects clotting in dogs.

   • Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA): A genetic disorder leading to the gradual degeneration of the retina, which may result in blindness.

   By identifying these health risks early, you can take proactive measures in managing your dog’s health care, reducing the risk of genetic conditions that may compromise your dog’s quality of life.

4. COI Calculation for Breeding Decisions
   COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) is an essential tool for breeders to optimize genetic diversity and reduce the risk of genetic disorders in future generations. The Schbit Breed Health Kit provides a detailed COI calculation, helping breeders make informed decisions and maintain healthy bloodlines.

5. Relative Finder Technology
   The Relative Finder technology allows you to compare your dog’s DNA with a growing database of canine DNA samples, helping you identify potential relatives or connect with other dog owners who have dogs with similar genetic traits. This can be especially useful for mixed-breed dogs or those adopted from shelters.

6. Veterinary-Grade Materials for Accuracy
   The Schbit Breed Health Kit uses medical-grade veneer test strips and room-temperature-stable collection tubes to ensure the accuracy and reliability of your dog’s genetic data. Manufactured in ISO 13485-certified facilities, this test kit adheres to the highest quality and safety standards, ensuring that you get dependable results every time.
