The DNA of any dog governs the appearance of the dog as well as being related to the general behavioral characteristics of the breed. In recent years, there has been a great deal of research performed on how differences in DNA give rise to the differences that are seen between breeds.
Advances in DAN testing technology mean that it has become possible to identify the ancestry of any dog by performing a simple test using a cheek swab. The DNA required for the test to be run is isolated from cells that are trapped on the DNA ID Card. All cells carry the same genetic material, regardless of type or location in the animal. Taking a cheek swab is therefore the easiest way to obtain the samples needed for testing.
On receipt, at the BioPet testing site the samples are prepared and analyzed, resulting in a rapid and accurate determination of the breeds that have contributed to the makeup of your dog.
Though DNA information is not available on all breeds, we believe that 92% of the mixed breed dog population in the U.S. is covered by the 58 validated breeds.
Collection is simple and can be performed at home. It's also harmless and painless for your pet, simply swab the inside of your pets cheek with the sterile gentle foam swab. The DNA ID card contains a color indicator to let you know the test was successful. Once you've collected the sample simply send it in. Results are generally mailed within 1-2 weeks of receipt. You receive An Ancestry Analysis Certificate that lists the breeds detected in order from highest to lowest.
Knowing exactly what breeds are present can help to identify potential health risks and a better understanding of your dogs behavior and personality. For owner's with pure breeds, the test can guarantee the authenticity of your claim.
