Why Orivet

At Orivet, we believe that every pet is a truly unique individual.

Orivet Genetic Pet Care was started by a team of passionate animal lovers who are dedicated to ensuring the health and heritage of breeds.

Based in Melbourne, Australia, and Florida, USA, with offices also in New Zealand, Japan, UK and the Netherlands, Orivet Genetic Pet Care is a leading global pet genetic testing organisation offering an extensive range of dog and cat DNA tests to Breeders, Veterinarians and Pet Owners in over 70 countries around the world.

Our mission is to safeguard the health and wellbeing of your pet dog or cat with fully personalised, breed-specific care. Orivet was founded on the belief that each and every pet is unique, with its own set of specific traits, behaviors, genetic health needs and inherent risks. We work with pet owners, breeders and veterinarians to provide completely personalised products and services that treat and care for pets as the unique individuals they are, taking into account each pet’s genetic makeup, age, sex, location and lifestyle.

Our team is made up of a wonderful group of Scientists, Veterinarians, Lab Specialists, IT Experts, Bioinformatics Specialists and many other amazing people, who all share a common love of animals.

Orivet has developed internationally recognised protocols and programmes for member bodies, breed clubs, kennel clubs and associations.

Through our services and partnerships we aim to encourage the development of a deep, genuine and lasting bond between pets and their owners.
