Get to Know Your Dog's Family this Holiday Season with a Wisdom Panel® Best-in-Class Cheek Swab Doggie DNA Identification Test


Ok, Here's a quirky gift for pet lovers... A dog DNA test! Yup! You (or someone who loves their dog a whole lot) can find out exactly what their mutt is made of...

There may be no greater love than that which you receive from man's best friend. This holiday season, return the love by gifting your four-legged friend with a Wisdom Panel® dog DNA test, the most comprehensive range of mixed-breed cheek swab DNA tests on the market. The test results not only help explain his ancestry, but may also provide valuable insights to help you strengthen the bond with your canine companion.

The Wisdom Panel Mixed Breed Insights, Purebred and Designer Dog doggie DNA tests from Mars Veterinary™, an established name in canine genetic breed identification and a division of MARS® Incorporated – a global leader in pet care – are the result of advancements in canine genetic testing technology, making it possible for dog owners to access breed detection inexpensively and conveniently.

With a simple swab of a cheek, mixed breed dog owners can typically determine the ancestry of a dog using Wisdom Panel Insights, which tests for more than 190 breeds, the largest database on the market.

For owners of assumed purebred or designer dogs who don't have pedigree documents for their beloved pets, the state-of-the-art Wisdom Panel Purebred and Designer Dog tests – the only dog DNA tests designed specifically for testing purebred and designer dogs – may help them satisfy their curiosity and take better care of the health of their pets. The Purebred dog test kit results will confirm whether a dog's ancestry consists of a single breed over three 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.

The three test kits, each available for the low price of $74.99 at www.wisdompanel.com, 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.

A dog's ancestry can be influential in surprising ways. Obvious and not-so-obvious physical traits plus behaviors like digging, herding and barking all come from the various breeds in a dog's family tree. Once an owner understands a dog's natural tendencies, it makes it possible to create a tailored training, exercise and nutrition program to fit his one-of-a-kind needs, plus it may help owners work with their veterinarians to be on the lookout for certain diseases they never would have expected.
Wonder what would happen if you sent in a cat sample! LOL!
