Mars Veterinary, a pet care and canine genetic breed identification company, has introduced two new genetic tests for dog DNA analysis. Wisdom Panel Purebred and Wisdom Panel Designer Dog certification tests can help satisfy owner curiosity and give them the knowledge to care for their specific dog type.
Both comprise a “do-it-yourself” cheek swab, allowing owners to simply administer the test at home and mail back the samples in a pre-paid package. Within three weeks of receipt of the swab sample, dog owners can expect to receive an e-mail notifying them that their official Ancestry Report is ready.
The Purebred dog test results will confirm based on the extensive Wisdom Panel data base whether the dog’s ancestry consists of a single breed over four generations. The Designer Dog test results will similarly confirm whether the dog is a first generation cross between two purebred dogs from different breeds which forms a true hybrid between the two purebred parents.
Understanding a dog's true genetic makeup won't make owners love their dogs any less -- but knowing what to look for from a disease predisposition perspective may help them take better care of their pets. Wisdom Panel Purebred and Wisdom Panel Designer Dog certification tests are both available online at www.wisdompanel.com for $69.99 each.
