 In most pets, a combination of genotypic and phenotypic testing is needed for the early detection of disease conditions.

 Genotypic testing allows the earliest identification of risk, but does not always mean that the pet will develop disease.

 In most instances, genotypic testing is used as a health screen rather than a disease screen.

 Phenotypic testing can confirm a diagnosis, but typically later in the course of disease.

 Veterinary teams need to be able to effectively counsel clients as how a combination of genotypic and phenotypic testing can help deliver excellent healthcare across a pet's lifespan.
