Pet humanisation trends have made pet parents increasingly willing to spend more on pet care, the global pet DNA testing market has reached USD 300 million in the year of 2022. DNA tests for furry felines are fairly new to the market, they haven't been around as long as the ones for doggies. As the interest has increased in recent years, there are products available on the market that are able to offer some insight into the breed information, details of genetic traits, and the risk of potential health problems for your orange tabby.

Founded in 2018 by Anna Skaya and Damian Kao, Basepaws is a pet-care genetics startup that created the world’s first at-home comprehensive cat DNA test and oral health test for cats. With the Continuously growing feline genomic and oral microbiome database, Basepaws compare your kitty’s results with thousands of other DNA tests. You can easily learn more about your furry feline’s breed and health with an affordable price. In 2022, Basepaws became a member of Zoetis - the world's leading animal health company.
