Dog owners tend to get all the love — and all the best pet products. From dog-specific pet tech to doggy DNA tests, there are so many options for people with pups, but not nearly as many for folks with feline friends.
Cat people: You're not completely out of luck. The Basepaws Cat DNA test will give you the breed and health info that many dog DNA tests offer, so you can live your best life as a cat parent. It's also on sale for $40 off as of Sept. 27 with code CATDAY, and you'll get a free dental report with purchase. This deal is only available at Basepaws — the same DNA kit is regular price ($129) at Amazon.
The Basepaws kit traces your cat's DNA to more than 21 breed types and four different breed regions. Even though purebred cats are relatively uncommon, the Basepaws test allows you to find out what breeds are the most genetically similar, so you can figure out if your cat is closest to a Maine Coon, a Russian Blue, a Siamese, or another breed. There's also an exotic cat test, which will check to see if your cat has shared roots with Savannah cats, Bengals, or Egyptian Maos.
Along with breed identification, Basepaws offers genetic health marker tests. The health portion of this kit assesses 38 different genetic markers and will let you know of mutation carrier status, along with predisposition to 16 diseases.
We know your cat is the real royalty of your home, so learn more about their ancestry — and get important info on their health — with a Basepaws DNA kit. Through Sept. 30, grab one for $89 with code CATDAY and get a free dental kit with purchase.
