Sploot Veterinary Care has launched an exclusive regional U.S. partnership with DeepScan Diagnostics, bringing innovative, non-invasive health screening to a neighborhood near you!
We invite pet parents to join us in harnessing the power of advanced DNA testing for dogs to keep them at their healthiest and happiest, with next-level preventative care.
What is cfDNA Testing for Dogs?
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) refers to tiny fragments of DNA that circulate freely in the dog’s bloodstream, typically released by damaged, dying, or diseased cells. While routine bloodwork is not sensitive enough to detect these fragments, cfDNA testing can.
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing is a cutting-edge, non-invasive screening tool that detects tiny fragments of DNA in the bloodstream. This advanced diagnostic approach is already transforming human medicine—and now it’s available for your canine companion.
By analyzing these cell-free DNA fragments, veterinarians are able to flag various health issues earlier than most standard laboratory tests, including:
- Cancer in dogs
- General inflammation or inflammatory conditions
- Organ damage
The Trend is Your Friend
Each DeepScan cfDNA test offers a snapshot of your dog’s health at the cellular level. By measuring cell-free DNA (cfDNA) levels, we gain insight into possible underlying disease activity, even before symptoms appear.
While a single test provides meaningful information, repeating the test annually—or more frequently when medically indicated—allows us to track changes over time.
- An increase in cfDNA levels may suggest new or progressing disease activity.
- A decrease may reflect treatment response, recovery, or the absence of active disease.
Identifying these trends helps us make more informed, proactive medical decisions tailored to your dog’s individual health profile.
In short, the trend becomes the insight—guiding vet care that’s not only responsive, but also preventive.
What This Means For Your Canine Companion
Cell-free DNA testing is here to enhance (not replace) existing veterinary diagnostics. This test is a powerful addition to your dog’s annual or biannual blood panel, providing early detection of health issues, even at early stages when other biomarkers may go undetected by standard tests.
Earlier detection through cfDNA testing = earlier intervention & treatment = better health outcomes. This test has the potential to save lives and even improve canine longevity, contributing to more years of health, happiness, and loving companionship.
