Abstract
The creation of purebred breeds of domestic animals has been accompanied by inbreeding and an increased incidence of simple genetic diseases within these breeds and animals. The veterinary profession has largely been a spectator of recent developments in companion animal genetics. A review of the current state of veterinary genetics for the small animal practitioner is provided that includes an overview of commercial DNA service providers as well as a review of information sources useful for clinical veterinary genetics.
