Revolutionizing Pet Healthcare with EpiPaws: The Pet Age Test for Veterinary Practices

As veterinary professionals, we know that age is more than just a number—it’s a crucial factor in determining appropriate medical care, nutritional needs, and preventive health strategies. Yet, for many pet owners, especially those with rescue animals, determining their pet’s birthday remains a mystery. EpiPaws is changing that with its revolutionary Pet Age Test, the most accurate way to estimate age in dogs and cats. By offering this cutting-edge test at your veterinary practice, you can enhance patient care, improve client trust, and lead the charge in proactive pet health management.

Why Age Accuracy Matters in Veterinary Medicine

Knowing a pet’s true age is foundational for providing the best possible care. With the EpiPaws Pet Age Test, veterinarians can:

• Help pet parents make informed decisions – Age is a key factor in determining vaccination schedules, nutritional requirements, and preventive screenings. By providing accurate age estimates, vets can offer tailored recommendations for each stage of life.
• Improve preventive care – Age-specific wellness plans help identify risks earlier, enabling timely interventions for conditions such as arthritis, dental disease, and metabolic disorders.
• Guide treatment plans effectively – Whether it's deciding on the appropriate anesthesia protocol, medication dosage, or diet plan, knowing a pet’s actual age allows for precision in care.
• Enhance client trust and engagement – Pet owners appreciate evidence-based guidance. Offering the Pet Age Test in your clinic demonstrates your commitment to cutting-edge veterinary science and personalized care.

The Science Behind the Pet Age Test

EpiPaws utilizes epigenetic sequencing technology to estimate a pet’s age within one year of accuracy. This method analyzes DNA methylation patterns, which change predictably over time, making them the gold standard for chronological age estimation. The test itself is simple: a quick and non-invasive mouth swab provides the necessary DNA sample, which is then sent to the EpiPaws lab for analysis. Results include not only the pet’s estimated age but also health insights relevant to their life stage.

A Game-Changer for Rescue Pets

One of the most impactful applications of the Pet Age Test is in rescue and shelter animals. Without a known history, these pets often receive generalized care instead of age-appropriate interventions. EpiPaws is on a mission to change that by helping rescue pet parents accurately determine their pet’s age, ensuring they get the right care at the right time.
