UNIQUE HEALTH RISK REPORT

myDogDNAge is the key to understanding how well your dog is aging—and how to change their health for the better

Calendar age tells you how many years your dog has been alive. But biological age tells you how well their body is actually aging.

Calendar age tells you how many years your dog has been alive. But biological age tells you how well their body is actually aging.

Biological age is measured through specific DNA markers, and it can be influenced by genetics, lifestyle, stress, and environment. 

In other words, two dogs with the same birthday could be aging very differently on the inside.

myDogDNAge uses a simple cheek swab to analyze key DNA markers and reveal your dog’s inner health story. The result? Clear, personalized guidance for you. myDogDNAge shows how you can adjust your dog’s diet, exercise, supplements, and veterinary care to better support their health and happiness at every stage of life.

More information, more good years together. 
It’s science made simple.

Answers to Common Questions

DNAge is the result of your myDogDNAge test. DNAge reveals your dog's biological age rather than their calendar age, or the number of years they've been alive. Your dog's biological age could be older or younger than their calendar age; it's a measure of how well their body is functioning. DNAge provides deeper insights into your dog's cellular pace of aging~and what actions you can take to help them live healthier.

Your dog's biological DNAge depends on both genetics, or the specific DNA blueprint they inherited from their parents, as well as epigenetics, the process by which environment and lifestyle can influence gene expression without ever altering the underlying genetic code. One form of epigenetic alteration is called DNA methylation. myDogDNAge tests evaluate methylation patterns in your dog's DNA to reveal their biological age.

Methylation is one type of epigenetic program that lets your genes know when to increase, decrease, or stop expression by adding one or more methyl groups to your DNA. If epigenetics is DNA software, methyl groups are the high-level programming code telling the genome which genes to express. This methylation programming code often changes based on lifestyle choices and health status.

With your dog's DNA information, myDogDNAge investigates thousands of age-related methylation sites across the genome to accurately predict your dog's DNAge. We then produce a personalized health snapshot that reveals their pace of aging and provide you with actionable insights to slow it. You can use repeated myDogDNAge testing to monitor your dog's biological aging and measure the helpfulness of different lifestyle interventions.
