01
Evidence-led panel
Selected canine variants are assessed against the strength, relevance and clinical limitations of the available evidence.
Canine pharmacogenomics · In development
Building genetic insight into veterinary prescribing.
Loom is developing a canine pharmacogenomics panel with veterinary-facing interpretation, designed to help clinicians understand how inherited differences may influence a dog’s response to selected medicines.
Bringing genetics, evidence and veterinary interpretation into one practical clinical interface.
Why canine PGx
The same medicine does not affect every dog in the same way.
Genetic differences can influence how some dogs respond to particular medicines, yet the available evidence remains fragmented and difficult to apply in everyday practice.
Loom is translating defensible canine pharmacogenomic evidence into a format designed for veterinary use. The aim is to make relevant genetic information accessible at the point of clinical decision-making, with clear limits where the science is still developing.
What Loom is developing
More than a genetic test.
The platform brings together a multi-gene panel, a veterinary-facing interpretation layer and a growing evidence base designed to strengthen over time.
02
Veterinary interpretation
Results are organised around clinical decisions and presented through a practical interface for veterinarians.
03
Learning evidence base
Genotype, medication and outcome data can support continuing evidence development and future species expansion.
Designed for clinical use
One profile, intended to remain useful throughout a dog’s life.
A single cheek swab is intended to create a pre-emptive genetic profile that can be available when relevant prescribing decisions arise.
01
Cheek swab collected through the veterinary practice
02
Relevant canine pharmacogenomic variants analysed

Clinical overview
Interpretation organised around medicines and clinical context
Higher-risk signal
Review before use
HIGH IMPACT
Caution signal
Consider individual context
MODERATE
Usual-use signal
No tested variant identified
LOW IMPACT
The report is intended to support veterinary clinical judgement. It does not replace examination, diagnosis or prescribing responsibility.
Collaboration
Help shape canine precision prescribing.
Loom is seeking partners who can contribute to responsible validation, veterinary integration and commercial development as the platform moves towards clinical pilots.
