Dogs Need Health Monitoring Just Like Humans Do!
Dogs’ genome DNA is 84% similar to that of human’s. They share a lot of the diseases that humans have, such as diabetes or cancer.
Because of their similarity to humans, they can help us to study human disease processes.
If we can develop treatments for diseases in dogs, there is a high chance that those same treatments will work on humans as well.

- Kiss & Tell can test the salivary glucose level of the dogs and therefore test for the diabetic risk of the dogs.
- Dog owners should modify the diet or the daily activities of the dogs in response to their health.
P4 Test
- There are dogs suffering from chronic diseases same as human, for example stroke and cancer.

- Glucose and insulin are tested for diabetes risk screening while folate and folic acid are tested for cancer.
- With the result of P4 tests, dog owners can understand the health status of their dogs and give them appropriate treatments or change to keep the dogs healthy.
