Market Overview

The market for veterinary DNA testing in Canada is the industry of animal health diagnostics that employs DNA-based technologies to find genetic characteristics, illnesses, ancestry, and breed-specific hazards in livestock and companion animals. Analysing an animal's genetic material to learn more about its breed, ancestry, and possible health risks is known as pet DNA testing. It executes by taking a tiny sample of the pet's DNA, which is frequently obtained from a blood sample or saliva swab. The breed composition of the pet and possible genetic health markers is then ascertained by sequencing the DNA and comparing it to an extensive database of genetic markers. Breed identification, which shows the mix of breeds in a pet's lineage, and health screening, which offers information on genetic health risks and predispositions, are the two primary forms of pet DNA testing that allow for proactive veterinary care. In February 2025, the Canadian government formally unveiled the Canadian Genomics Strategy (CGS), which aims to use genomics to boost economic growth, commercialisation, and innovation. Initiated the Canadian Genomics Strategy, supported by a $175.1 million federal investment spread across seven years, beginning in 2024–2025. The Strategy will improve Canada's capacity to apply genomics research in important industries.

Driving Factors

The market for veterinary DNA testing in Canada is growing rapidly due to several important factors, such as the demand for genetic testing services to guarantee pet health, breed identification, and the prevention of hereditary diseases has increased with pet ownership. Early disease detection and individualised healthcare through DNA testing are encouraged by growing veterinarian and pet owner awareness of genetic health risks. Moreover, technological developments like AI-driven analytics and next-generation sequencing have increased test affordability, accessibility, and accuracy, which has increased consumer adoption. Pet owners can now invest more in high-end health services owing to rising disposable incomes, and market reach is increased by growing distribution through veterinary clinics and online sales, which boost the market expansion.

Restraining Factors

Despite encouraging growth, the Canadian veterinary DNA testing market is subject to significant restraining factors, such as adoption and affordability being restricted by the high expenses of comprehensive genetic panels and sophisticated DNA sequencing technologies. Strict regulatory and approval procedures for novel genetic tests frequently result in product launch delays and restrict market access for creative solutions.

Market Segmentation

The Canada Veterinary DNA Testing market share is classified into sample type and test type.

• The blood segment held a significant share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period.

The Canada veterinary DNA testing market is segmented by sample type into blood, saliva, semen, and others. Among these, the blood segment held a significant share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. This is because blood samples are more accurate and reliable for intricate genetic analyses; there is a growing need for them in pet DNA testing. In contrast to saliva, which can be tainted by food or infections, blood samples have more stable and concentrated DNA. Further, blood is a preferred option for precise health diagnostics and advanced screenings linked to hereditary diseases, especially in clinical settings.

• The health and wellness segment held a substantial share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The Canada veterinary DNA testing market is segmented by test type into breed profile, genetic diseases, health and wellness. Among these, the health and wellness segment held a substantial share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. There is an increasing need about the breeds, characteristics, and possible health risks of their pets, and pet owners are becoming more and more interested in pet DNA testing. Further, encourages early preventive care and aids in predicting size, temperament, and exercise requirements.
