Now you can discover not only your dog's birthday, but also how old they feel. The EpiPaws HealthScore Test measures DNA methylation across age markers and health markers to calculate your pet’s age if you need an estimate and even more importantly, their internal age (how old they seem!) also called biological age. When tested multiple times, your pet’s internal aging rate can be calculated. From these markers, you’ll be able to see if your pet is aging well or if there is an opportunity to help them age better. Being on top of aging means the potential to stay healthy longer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;
