HealthScore™ Test for Dogs
Track your dog’s health like you track your own. HealthScore measures biological health signals to help you understand your dog’s wellness today - and track how it changes over time.
EpiPaws HealthScore™
Your dog actually has two ages: chronological age and biological age. The EpiPaws HealthScore™ Test helps you understand both.
Your dog’s chronological age tells you how many years they have been alive. Their biological age reflects how their body appears to be aging internally. Comparing the two can help you understand whether your dog is aging faster, slower, or similarly to what may be expected for their chronological age.
Using an easy, pain-free cheek swab collected at home, HealthScore™ measures DNA methylation patterns across age and health-related markers to provide insights into your dog’s biological aging and current wellness profile.
Your report includes:
- Biological age estimation
- Chronological age estimation (if needed)
- A comparison of the two ages, allowing you to track your dog's health trajectory (we recommend repeat testing)
- Personalized recommendations and suggestions based on your dog’s health markers and reported lifestyle information.
We recommend HealthScore™ to be repeated periodically to establish a baseline and track changes over time. By comparing results, you can better understand how changes in diet, activity, environment, treatments, and other lifestyle factors may relate to your dog’s aging and wellness. With repeat testing, you can follow your dog's health trajectory in your EpiPaws portal and get valuable insights for long-term health - including catching meaningful changes or illness, potentially before any physical signs show.
Results are typically available online within 4–6 weeks after the laboratory receives the sample.
