About this episode
There are a lot of services or products out there that afford dog owners to learn more about their dogs than ever before. One of those services or products is genetic testing. We are all familiar with some of the benefits for breeders to do genetic testing but is there any benefit to individual owners doing the testing? Im joined with Caitlin Swingley and Dr. Bob Westra from Neogen to discuss why someone might be interested in their products.
