Thread: HCM testing??

We do ours every year, my boy and the older of our girls is also Echo tested, but I always say that people should test before they breed off the cats, also NEW owners should insist on a copy of the parents HCM test! everyone who adopts a cat from us gets a copy of the tests with all the rest of the paperwork.. after all it only cost 25 pounds per year per cat... whats that for peace of mind!

Thats cheap, here in holland its 150 euro's for HCM and PKD I think HCM only is 120 euro.
DNA I pay 45 euro for 1 cat. I tested 4 years ago 15 of my cats
