This test is suitable for mixed-breed, purebred and designer dogs alike.
Collecting the Dog’s DNA Sample
The process behind this test could not get any simpler! Once you have completed your order, we will promptly dispatch your canine sample collection kit. Inside the kit, you will find mouth swabs which you need to use to collect the cheek cells required. All you need to do is to gently rub the swab(s) inside your dog’s mouth, against the inner cheek. The rubbing procedure should not take any longer than one minute and is completely pain-free.
You can then proceed to place the used swabs in the envelope, fill in the required documentation and mail everything back to us in the self-addressed envelope. Once samples are in the laboratory, scientists will proceed to analyse the DNA in the canine cheek cells. Results will be sent to you via email within 3 weeks from receipt of samples at the laboratory.
Does this test cover all existing Dog Breeds?
The Dog Breed Identification test was developed using pure breeds, primarily found in the registry lists of The Kennel Club and the American Kennel Club. Take a look at the full list of dog breeds tested HERE.
In case your dog was imported from a country other than the United Kingdom, mainland United States, Canada, Australia or Western Europe, or if you suspect that your dog’s ancestors are from outside these countries, your dog’s breed ancestry may not be well represented using this dog breed database. This mostly applies to dogs from Eastern Europe, Greece and the Middle East as genetic markers of breeds from these countries are not always compatible with the markers used in our database and this could adversely affect the results.
Important note re Pitbull Breeds
The term “pit bull” does not refer to a single recognized breed of dog, but rather to a genetically diverse group of breeds which are associated by similar physical traits. Pit bull-type dogs have historically been bred by combining guard-type breeds with terriers for certain desired characteristics. As such, they may retain many genetic similarities to their original breeds and other closely related breeds.
Due to the genetic diversity of this group, the laboratory cannot build a DNA profile to genetically identify every dog that may be visually classified as a pit bull. When these types of dogs are tested with the laboratory, we routinely detect various quantities of the component pure-bred dogs including the American Staffordshire Terrier, Boston Terrier, Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Mastiff, Bullmastiff, Boxer, Bulldog, and various other terriers and guard breeds. Additionally, there are often other breeds outside the guard and terrier groups identified in the mix, depending on each dog’s individual ancestry.
Some communities have put restrictions on pit bull ownership. The laboratory encourages dog owners and care providers to be fully aware of their local laws, which vary across the country, when considering DNA testing.

This test has access to a database containing over 120 of the most common canine allergens. However, we are always working on adding more allergens to the testing database.

The test can determine sensitivities at any age, but these sensitivities can change as a dog ages. We recommend that your dog be at least 6 months old to identify specific allergens that may affect them for a long period of time.

Your dog should not eat before getting its sample collected as food can affect the test results. We recommend either taking your dog’s sample first thing in the morning or waiting for the longest possible time between meals to collect the sample.
Aside from food, there are also medications, such as antihistamines and steroids, that can affect the dog’s test results. Therefore, your dog must not be on any antihistamines, anti-itching and anti-inflammatory medication or steroid-based medications for 1-2 weeks before collecting its sample.

Some dogs may be sensitive to chicken eggs but not chicken meat, while some dogs may be sensitive to fish meal but not a particular type of fish. This is normal. Each allergen has unique components and characteristics, and a dog’s reaction to an allergen may not necessarily equate to sensitivity to its subsets.
Yes, different dog breeds may be more susceptible to specific allergies.
The following are some breeds that are sensitive to issues with food and/or airborne allergies: Maltese terrier, Pekingese, German Shepherd, Bull Terriers, Bichon Frise, English Cocker Spaniel, Brussels Griffon, American Hairless Terrier, Bohemian Terrier, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, American Pit Bull Terrier, Wire-Haired Fox Terrier, Chinese Crested/Powderpuff, Poodle, Irish Setter, English Bulldog, Pugs.

Reactions can be managed by avoiding the allergens which trigger them. For example, if your pet has a sensitivity to a particular food item then eliminating this from their diet will help eliminate the negative impact. It is also possible to manage them through the use of medication or medicated shampoos – however, many times such treatments only mask a problem without finding the root cause. Also since more than one allergen may be causing reactions in your dog this may require more than action to eliminate all discomfort and reactions. We strongly advocate involving your vet in all decisions regarding what actions to take.
