Genetic Disease Counseling & Reporting

REPORTING: Reporting is free and confidential. Please note that, if we find an increased number of patients with the same clinical signs, we may contact you for more information or blood samples. 

COUNSELING: If you wish counseling, a confidential Medical Record will be made for you through PennGen at the Ryan Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Detailed written counseling reports are available for a fee of $150. Counseling regarding test results received from PennGen are free of charge.
