Methodology & sources

We reviewed each service’s official website / test list directly and marked ◯ only where the service officially lists the variant. Mentions found only in third-party affiliate posts were not counted as ◯. “Unverified” means we could not confirm it from official information — not that it is unavailable. Full source URLs are kept on file by the editorial team.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q. Do services with many "Unverified" marks not test those variants?
No. "Unverified" means we could not confirm the variant in the official catalog — it does not prove the service excludes it. Confirm availability on the official page or by contacting the lab.

Q. Is a service with more ◯ always better?
Not necessarily. Broad panels (Embark, Wisdom Panel, Orivet, Laboklin) test many variants at once, but what matters is whether the variants relevant to your breed are included and whether the service ships to where you live.

Q. Is this table a diagnosis?
No. A DNA test is a genetic risk/carrier screen, not a clinical diagnosis. If your pet has symptoms, consult a veterinarian (an ophthalmologist/specialist where relevant).

Q. How current is this?
This reflects each company's official website as surveyed in July 2026. Test menus change, so verify the latest details on the official site before purchase.
