Breeders & Pet Owners
Making sense of pet DNA doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Do you need help in finding health and trait tests validated for your breed? Are you wondering which commercial DNA test package will give you the best added value while also providing the information you are primarily looking for? Do you already have DNA test results that you are unsure how to interpret in terms of health impact for your pet or in broader context for breed welfare?
GenomeTails is not affiliated with any genetic test provider and will always provide you an honest unbiased opinion. We help breeders and dedicated owners choose the right tests, interpret complex results, and put them into the context of long-term breeding or health strategies. From understanding genetic risks to planning healthier litters, you’ll get clear, practical advice through flexible email or online consultations—always tailored to your animals’ unique story.
Breed Clubs & Registries
Strong breeds start with strong knowledge. Does your breed community need advice in setting up a practical and sensible genetic testing program? Are you in need of an independent geneticist’s opinion to support communications with regulatory bodies and legislators? Do you need help in making sense of breed genetic diversity and planning an outcrossing or crossbreeding project? Would you like for an external expert to come in and look at your breed’s genetic health with a fresh set of eyes and summarise all available information (e.g., disease and trait frequencies, diversity level) in an understandable status report that you can use as a baseline for your organisation’s Breeding Strategy Documentation? Are you considering a genetics-themed lecture, tailored according to your interests, for your next club event?
GenomeTails partners with clubs and registries to design sustainable health testing programs, assess genetic diversity, and model population genetics for long-term breed health. With accessible reports, clear recommendations, and engaging lectures or webinars, we help organisations turn complex data into actionable strategies for healthier breeds worldwide.
Veterinarians & Clinics
Genetic screening has an untapped potential in veterinary differential diagnostics and disease risk prediction, while actionable genomic information is readily available to guide care decisions related to medication, nutrition and follow-up protocol. At the same time, clinicians face increasing questions from clients about genetics, while veterinary education is struggling to keep up with the specialty.
GenomeTails is here to support both independent veterinary practices and clinic chains in incorporating precision medicine into practice. We offer on-demand consultations and case reviews, whether for individual patients or through ongoing service contracts. We also provide tailored educational sessions for veterinary professionals, helping your clinic stay at the forefront of genetic medicine while focusing on what matters most: patient care.
Industry & Academia
From concept to impact, GenomeTails brings scientific expertise to industry and academic projects within the field of pet genetics. With strong communication skills and proven experience in scientific writing, we aim to bridge the gap between technical genetics and real-world application. Most notably, we specialise in consultancy and contract work on all matters related to genetic tests in dogs and cats, based on more than a decade of hands on experience in the design and validation of such tests. We also deliver market insight reports for informed decision making related to genetic testing-related products, offer project management services for population-based or clinical research, and scientific and medical writing services (e.g., research publication writing, medical messaging, educational materials). Dr. Donner is also a highly-regarded speaker on companion animal genetics, dedicated to helping make your next event a success.

Just like every genome is unique, so is each case. When you contact us, we’ll provide a tailored quote for you to approve before any costs are incurred.
