Our home paternity test is an extremely accurate test and will provide you with up to 99.99% probability of paternity in the case of an inclusion, and 0% in the case of exclusion. All tests are performed using 21 genetic markers to meet international testing standards and guarantee maximum accuracy. The paternity test can be performed with only the samples of the alleged father and the child you do not need to include the sample of the mother although recommended.
Our DNA testing kit will contain all you require to perform the test. We will send you oral swabs to rub on the inside of your mouth in order to collect cheek cells; hence, you will not need to go through painful blood sampling. All our kits contain comprehensive instructions. You can see online how easy it is to collect your DNA Samples.
Results will be issued within 3 to 5 working days from receipt of your samples at the laboratory. Results for home paternity testing will be sent to you by email unless otherwise requested (additional charges may apply).
Note: We can only guarantee standard result turnaround time when testing takes place solely using oral swab samples. Using a forensic sample for your test may lead to an increase in turnaround time.
We do not offer express testing if you choose to send a forensic sample. We can offer express testing only if you use mouth swabs.
All home paternity tests are performed by an ISO17025 accredited laboratory which has performed over 250,000 DNA tests to date. You can, therefore, rest assured that your test is being performed under the strictest of guidelines.
Note: We can only guarantee standard result turnaround time when testing takes place solely using oral swab samples. Using a forensic sample for your test may lead to an increase in turnaround time.
We do not offer express testing if you choose to send a forensic sample. We can offer express testing only if you use mouth swabs.
EasyDNA can test people living at different addresses or even different countries. Know more about sending DNA testing kits to different locations HERE.
We also provide support at every step of the process. Contact us via email, phone or Live Chat to discuss any questions you may have. Our home paternity test starts from as little as £99 for a two-person test – alleged father and one child. The sample of the mother can be sent as well and will be tested at no added cost. As with some other DNA tests, the sample of the mother, if available, is recommended (see Why test the Mother in a Paternity test?).
It is important to be aware that in the UK the Human Tissue Act regulates the collection and analysis of any human tissue. In order to send a sample for analysis, the person or donor of that sample must give their consent in writing in order for us to test their sample. Furthermore, in order to be fully compliant with the Human Tissue Act, the donor of the sample must also be made aware of how their DNA sample will be used. Failure to comply with the Human Tissue Act is a criminal offence.
We will not proceed with any testing if we do not have consent from all test participants. Testing any samples will be put on hold until we get the required signatures from all individuals.
Discover the True Age of Your Cat with the Cat Age Test
You may know your cat’s personality, favourite treats, and daily habits, but one detail is often uncertain: “How old is my cat really?” The Cat Age Test provides a reliable answer using advanced scientific methods. This specialised test estimates your cat’s age through a quick and gentle mouth swab, offering one of the most precise assessments available for felines. It is particularly beneficial for rescued cats, shelter adoptions, strays, or any feline whose exact birthdate was never recorded. The test delivers impressive accuracy, typically within ±12 months, with 75% of cases falling within a five-month margin.
Rescued or stray cats with unknown histories.
Cats adopted without a verified age.
Companion animals whose birthdates were never documented.
Any cat owner looking for age-specific health or care guidance.
Please note: This test is not recommended for kittens under 1 year of age.
What Are The Benefits of the Cat Age Test?
The Cat Age Test provides more than just a number, it offers clarity and helps improve your cat’s long-term wellbeing. Understanding your cat’s real age allows you to tailor nutrition, veterinary schedules, and lifestyle choices to better suit their life stage. For example, if your feline is older than initially assumed, you can adjust their diet, encourage appropriate activity levels, and plan age-relevant health checks.
The Cat Age Test offers three essential benefits:
Certainty: Many cats arrive in homes without age documentation. This test provides science-based evidence to support informed decisions.
Personal Insight: Age significantly influences dietary needs, exercise habits, and preventive care. Knowing your cat’s life stage allows you to anticipate their needs.
Useful Data for Vets: A clear age estimate supports more accurate diagnostics, risk evaluation, and healthcare planning.
What The Cat Age Test Reveals and How to Interpret the Results
Once your cat’s sample reaches the laboratory, a validated epigenetic model is used to calculate chronological age. Your results provide an estimated birthday (month/year) and a typical accuracy window of ±12 months. This method is far more dependable than traditional visual age assessments based on teeth or appearance. For instance, if the results indicate your cat is entering the senior stage, you can plan dietary changes and routine health screenings accordingly.
Important: This test does not diagnose medical conditions and should not replace veterinary examinations.
Sample Collection for the Cat Age Test
Collecting your cat’s DNA sample is quick, easy, and stress-free. Your kit includes everything required: a mouth swab, a tube with DNA preservative, step-by-step instructions, and a return mailer box.
Important Tips for Accurate Results:
Collect the sample before feeding for the most reliable outcome.
Handle the swab gently and avoid contamination.
Return the sample promptly to ensure timely processing.
How the Cat Age Test Works
The process is entirely non-invasive and can be completed at home. No needles, vet visits, or sedation, ideal for cats that become stressed in unfamiliar environments.
Open the kit and review the included instructions.
Use the swab to gently collect cells from the inside of your cat’s cheek.
Place the swab into the DNA preservative tube and secure it.
Label the sample as directed.
Pack the sample using the return mailer box.
Send the sample back using the provided prepaid return envelope.

FAQs
The reaction to allergies is more severe than intolerances and it is usually felt immediately. Intolerances are usually less severe and can change over time. In addition, the symptoms of an intolerance are not immediate, manifesting anywhere from 10 minutes to 48 hours after the food has been consumed.
Food allergy is an adverse reaction of the immune system to an allergen, which in most cases is a reaction to a specific food protein.
On the contrary, if your cat has a food intolerance the immune system will not be affected. Food allergy are less common that food intolerances in cats.
Food intolerance is a non-immunologic adverse reaction to any digested food. If your cat vomits after eating is probably suffering from food intolerance. In such cases it is recommended you seek professional advice, the difference between food intolerance and allergy is not always easy to distinguish. Both show similar reactions.
The test is suitable for cats who are on full adult meals, so this would normally be from the 6 months onwards.
Most drugs do not have an effect on the test as this is not an allergy test taken from blood. However if you are concerned about a particular test you can let us know and we can check directly with the laboratory.
