Scorecard points

From the printed rules on how we compare, applied the same way to every test.

Which to pick

• You want the breed and the standard health screen, once. Both do it. Wisdom Panel was cheaper on 2026-10-09 ($111.99) and Wisdom Panel lists more breeds (430+ breeds); see the note on breed counts on the main page before you weigh that.
• You want a record of your dog's health that keeps growing. Only ProsperK9 states stored records, follow-up questions from the dog's own data and a vet summary; the other test here delivers a report. ProsperK9 is owned by this site's founder, so check its public demo report before you believe this line.
• You want the result re-analysed as the science improves. ProsperK9 states free re-analysis for life; the other does not offer it.
