6 Easy Steps for the One-Minute Cheek Swab Test
Before you begin, please read these instructions carefully and complete the registration process at www.dnamydog.com. Ensure your dog does not eat or drink (other than water) for one hour before starting and has no contact with other dogs (water, toys, mouth) one hour before.
1) Remove the Sterile Swab from the packaging by holding on to the handle. Do not touch the tip.
2) Place the swab between the cheek and gum of the dog. Firmly rub the swab tip against inner surface of the dog’s cheek in a circular motion several times for 20 seconds.
3) Place the swab in the Donor Specimen Envelope. Do not seal the envelope yet.
4) Repeat steps 1-3, using the other sterile swab provided and swabbing the dog’s other cheek. Place the swab in the same Donor Specimen Envelope. Do not seal the envelope yet.
5) Allow the two sample swabs to air-dry in the unsealed envelope for 25 minutes before sealing.
6) Place sealed Donor Specimen Envelope in the supplied mailing envelope. The cheek cell samples are stable for several months without refrigeration.
After a month, the results I see because I kept checking the website, NOT because the company emailed me results, are ALL THE WAY OFF. I have a terrier mix, 8 lbs who this “test” states is 100% miniature poodle. Laughable. And the description should spell out that this particular test doesn’t include genetic age (which was what I was most interested in and I wouldn’t believe at this point anyway). Can’t get a human on the phone to ask questions. I’m disappointed and the only recommendation I can make is do NOT purchase.
It said results in 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks I got a notice that they received my tests and I should have results in 2 weeks. So I guess their results in 2 weeks actually means a month. Their results show my dog should be a big dog, which he is tiny, so the results are inaccurate.
Honestly, I cannot believe my f@(&!”& eyes. This company is complete BS. The results are taken like they’re calling out bingo numbers. Absolutely ridiculous test results. These tests are this cheep for a reason. I doubt the company even has a microscope. 0/10. Do NOT recommend this product.
We adopted Zoey from a local shelter and we were always asked, what is she? We decided to do a DNA test. She turned out to be 40 to 60% Terrier and 40 to 60% Border Collie. We were a little surprised on the Border Collie. It sure explains her looks and personality. Great product and wonderful customer service! We would highly recommend !!
I have a 35 pound dog who looks to have a lot of blue heeler in her and maybe some australian shepherd among other things. The results I got from this test said that she was part maltese, shih tzu, and silky terrier. As somebody who has owned all three of those dog breeds in the past, I can tell you with complete certainty that if those breeds are present in her, they can only be trace amounts. When I emailed the company about it, they offered to re-test a backup sample that they had. The results from this test were the same except with the additions of yorkie and small amounts of border collie. When I again told them that this was not possible, they would not issue me a refund. If I could give this 0 stars I would. I will attempt to attach a picture of my dog for reference.
This product was easy enough to use - just swab your pet's cheek, but results were disappointing. We did get 4 different dog breeds listed in my pet's genetics, but that was it - no email explanation in detail or certificate, even after requesting again. Product says that they send details and certificate, neither of which I received. Disappointed. Spend your money on a different product.
Don't waste your money on this test. The results were inaccurate. My dog weighs 10 lbs. Results said she was 100% golden retriever weighing 65 - 75 lbs. How is this possible?????
We adopted a dog where we knew the mother was a black Labrador Retriever but no idea on dad. We assumed pit bull since the dog is a 44 lb short haired, short snout dog. This test could not give us a Level S or a Level 1 - which is fine because I was thinking the dog was 50-50 lab/pit. Well, it came back Level 2 as Dalmatian and nothing else. No Level 3!! For Level 4 is came back Belgian Malinois and Parson Russell Terrier. Look at the picture. Nothing about him says Dalmatian, Belgian Malinois or Russel Terrier.
Go with embark or wisdom panel. This kit told me my dog was a purebred (he's definitely not). The other kits told me he's 16 different breeds which makes way more sense. This was a waste of money.
Instructions were good and the test easy to do. Waiting for results. My dog Khloe is a rescue so interested in her DNA.
