The Shiba Inu is a small, sturdy spitz-type dog with a compact build, erect ears, a curled tail, and a thick coat. It is intelligent, alert, independent, and very self-assured. It is a striking but demanding breed—not your typical, easy-going companion dog.
Advanced DNA analysis allows us to better understand the genetic predispositions specific to the breed and make more informed decisions about its health and care. The PetGen test analyzes genetic variants associated with the risk of hereditary and polygenic diseases that may be more common in representatives of the breed. The result provides valuable information about health predispositions, supporting prevention, diagnostic planning and daily care. It’s a tool that helps owners, breeders and veterinarians act earlier and more informed.
