Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD in dogs) is a chronic, recurrent repetitive behavior that a dog performs for no apparent reason. They can include licking, biting, circling, tail chasing or persistent barking. OCD in dogs is a behavioral disorder with a complex, polygenic and environmental background.
Advanced DNA analysis helps to better understand genetic predispositions and make informed decisions about animal health. The PetGen study analyzes genetic variants associated with the risk of selected inherited and polygenic diseases. The result provides valuable information about the animal’s health predispositions, supporting prevention, planning further diagnostics and daily care. It’s a tool that helps owners, breeders and veterinarians act earlier and more deliberately.
