Our DNA Testing Company: Leaders in Canine DNA Testing
1. Canine DNA Profiling (Genotyping):
Looking for a permanent, fail-proof ID for your dog? Canine DNA Profiling establishes a secure, permanent identification for your dog, invaluable in case of loss or theft. Using the same advanced technology for determining canine parentage, we test and record your dog’s unique set of allele sizes. Sample collection is quick, easy, and painless. Simply use a buccal swab to collect cheek cells. You’ll receive a detailed Canine Profile Certificate that includes your dog’s unique allele sizes and an explanation of the results.
2. Canine DNA Parentage Test:
Need to confirm the parentage of a recent litter? Wondering if the litter has multiple sires? Or perhaps you’d like to provide DNA-certified pedigrees to buyers? Our DNA Parentage Testing is fast, affordable, and highly accurate. Using PCR technology, we compare allele sizes to definitively establish parentage. We routinely test with a 16-DNA marker panel, with an additional 13 markers available for closely related cases. Sample collection is quick, easy, and painless—just use a buccal swab to gather cheek cells. A standard test includes both parents. If one parent is unavailable, contact us to discuss alternative options. You’ll receive a comprehensive Parentage Report detailing matches or non-matches, along with an explanation of the results. Individual DNA Profile Certificates are available for an additional $20 each.
3. Canine DNA Banking/Storage:
Ensure your dog’s DNA is securely stored for future use. Our long-term DNA storage option provides peace of mind, allowing you to identify your dog in case of loss or theft. Samples are stored in our environmentally controlled facility for up to 10 years. Sample collection is quick, easy, and painless. Simply use a buccal swab to collect cheek cells.
CAUTION:
To prevent cross-contamination, do not allow other dogs to interfere while you are collecting the intended dog. If you are collecting DNA samples from more than one dog, wash your hands thoroughly between each collection to also prevent any cross-contamination of DNA samples.
1. Fill Out the Buccal Swab Collection Kit Envelope:
(Before you start collecting the DNA samples, please fill out the Buccal Swab Collection Kit envelope with the submitter’s name and information about the dog that is to be tested.)
2. Remove Swabs from Wrapper:
(Open the plastic wrapper at the end opposite from the swab tip (soft end). Remove one swab by grasping the handle and pulling it out of the wrapper. Avoid touching the tip of the swab.)
3. Swab the Dog’s Cheek:
(Hold the dog’s head firmly against your body with one hand. With the other hand, insert the swab into the dog’s mouth and place it against the inside surface of the cheek. Firmly rub the swab against the inside of the cheek, rotating the swab for about ten seconds. The objective is to collect loose cheek cells, NOT saliva.)
4. Place the Used Swabs in the Buccal Swab Envelope once the cheek cells have been collected, immediately insert the swab into the paper Buccal Swab Collection Kit envelope, which was labeled in Step 1.
5. DO NOT return the swabs to the original plastic wrapper that they arrived in.
6. Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 for the remaining three swabs on the same dog. Please be sure to use two swabs on each of the dog’s cheeks.
7. Seal the Envelope.
8. After all four swabs have been used to collect DNA samples for the same dog, place all swabs in the buccal swab collection envelope. Make sure that the envelope is filled out completely and correctly, then seal the envelope.
9. Fill Out the DNA Testing Submission Form and Mail to ANDR.
10. Complete the accompanying DNA Testing Submission Form with the submitter’s information, information about each dog collected, and payment information. Once all samples have been collected, place the Buccal Swab Collection Kit and the submission form into an envelope and mail to address above.
