People use genetic testing to screen for inherited disease and confirm family ties; dogs can benefit too. A breed dog's DNA test can flag the risk of more than 130 inherited conditions, confirm whether a pricey puppy is truly purebred, serve as proof of identity if it is lost or stolen, and even predict behavior traits. It is a practical tool for smarter, more personal care.
