Talk to a vet about your dog’s DNA test for free

Dutch is the leading online veterinary pet telehealth service created with board-certified veterinary specialists. We use a science-backed approach to provide pets with care and prescriptions for their everyday physical and behavioral health issues. We’ve partnered with Ancestry to provide dog parents with vet advice and care plans based on their dogs’ DNA results. 

Dutch connects you with licensed veterinarians over video chat and messaging to help you get care for your dog or cat quickly wherever you are — without the stress or expense of a vet visit. When needed, we also deliver prescription medication (in applicable states only) and over-the-counter treatments directly to your door. Dutch isn’t a veterinary practice or pharmacy, but a company that helps facilitate these services for pet parents to make veterinary care more accessible to all.

What kind of information and advice can the vets provide based on my dog's DNA results?

Here are some things our vets can discuss with you based on your dog’s breed and traits:

Breed-specific health risks: Our vets can offer detailed information on health risks associated with specific breeds, helping you understand potential genetic predispositions and how to manage them.

Nutritional needs: Different breeds have unique dietary requirements. Our vets can suggest tailored nutrition plans based on your dog's DNA test results to ensure they receive the best nutrition for their needs.

Behavioral traits: Understanding a pet's breed mix can explain certain behaviors. Vets can provide training tips and behavioral management strategies suited to the pet's genetic background.

Preventive Care: Vets can recommend breed-specific preventive care measures, such as specific vaccinations, routine screenings, and health checks, to catch potential issues early.

Exercise Requirements: Based on breed information, vets can suggest appropriate exercise routines to keep pets healthy and prevent obesity or related health issues.

Lifespan Expectations: Vets can provide guidance on the expected lifespan of the pet's breed mix, helping owners prepare for different life stages and associated care needs.

Genetic Disorders: Vets can identify potential genetic disorders indicated by the DNA test and offer advice on monitoring and managing these conditions.

If you choose the Dutch Monthly plan, the first month is free with your Ancestry offer. If you select the Annual plan, you’ll get $35 off — that’s a year of unlimited vet care for up to five pets for just 

Your Ancestry offer gives you a free month of Dutch  Monthly plan or $35 off an Annual plan. Both plans include unlimited video calls and messaging with licensed vets to discuss your dog’s DNA results or any other health issues.

During a video call to learn more about your dog’s DNA results, one of our licensed veterinarians will discuss how their traits and breed mix can impact their health, behavior, and lifespan. They may give you advice about diet, exercise, and preventive care to help your pup be healthier and happier based on their results. If needed, the vet can also write prescriptions or recommend treatments, food, or supplements.

If your pet currently has any health or behavioral issues (whether related to their DNA or not), you can also book a free vet call to get care and prescriptions from the comfort of home. The vet will ask you questions, review your pet’s medical history if you’ve provided it, and answer any questions. They’ll ask to see your pet and their environment on camera. And they may ask you to perform some simple checks on them if needed.

After your video call, the vet will send you a message with a custom treatment plan to help your pet feel better, including a link to buy any recommended prescription or over-the-counter medications. Place your order and we’ll ship it free.
