DM Testresults

A simple question:
From what age the test can be made? For example, can it be made with 2 week puppies?

The only thing that you need to make a test is a blood sample, so, yes you could do it on very small puppies... Anyway, just not to scramble them too much, and to have correct datas, it could be done when you put the Microchip, so you could pair the sample to the chip number and be absolutely SURE about the owner of the blood

I have asked that same question to Laboklin and they replied just like Enid - as long as the puppies have been microchipped, the sample can be taken at any age. It must be a blood sample for babies as you cannot isolate them from all other dogs long enough to ensure no cross contamination of the sample. We are intending to have all the puppies from our next litter (and any future litters) tested early in their life, this is why I asked

In fact, Laboklin have offered a (small) discount for bulk tests

We chip and test our D-Litters with 6 weeks without any problems. Only DMTest, therefore you need not too much blood.
