DNA Test Kit.
OPEN SWAB SLEEVE – Peel back the edges of the swab sleeve about 1 inch (not all the way) and remove swab by holding its handle. Do not touch the bristles. Save the sleeve to place the swabs in for mailing.
COLLECT CHEEK CELLS – Firmly roll the swab’s bristles between the inner surface of the cheek and gums for about 15 seconds for each swab. NOTE: DO NOT let your dog eat anything or share a water dish with other dogs for about an hour before you do the test.
AIR DRY SWABS – Insert swab handle in the hole of the carton insert and allow swabs to dry for about five minutes. Repeat steps 1-3 for the second swab.
ACTIVATE YOUR KIT –Activate your kit online. Fill out all the information, check it for accuracy and submit. You will receive an Activation Code Number that you need to write on the back of your Sample ID Sticker.
REINSERT DRY SWABS – Reinsert both dry swabs into the protective sleeve they came in. DO NOT reseal as this can cause bacterial growth.
SEAL THE CARTON – Place the sleeve with the swabs back into the carton it came in and seal.
MAIL TEST TO LAB – Pre-paid shipping label has already been placed on the carton. Simply seal and place with the outgoing mail. See your report online in approximately 2-3 weeks
Great product overall. Took the DNA sample sent it in and received my results within a week via email. Instructions are very simple and easy to follow. Learned a lot more about my cat ancestry,traits, and health. Very interesting information is provided was very happy with the results.
Not as good as the dog one. They dont show relatives. Would be great if they did. Called the company and they have no plan on adding this in the future I was told. Waste of money. Did the dog one and it is great. Clearly all the money goes to the dog one and cat one is just for profits.
I ordered this maybe two months ago & havent activated. The sample id gives off like it was already used but I had not opened the package until now.
I was hoping to get a really detail history of my cat, but I guess they just confirm your cat is a purebred or not and it there is any history of illness. I was really apprehensive of using their test, because of seeing some reviews were it was really off. But mine matches. Guessing theirs was just human error. There is always some human error in science. Feel more comfortable using it on the rest of my breeding cats.
This kit is perfection. The directions are clear and precise. I am looking forward to my Oliver’s results.
My cats results indicated in traits that she has a long tail with no short tail variants detected. My cat has zero tail! None of her litter mates had tails either. none of the breeds they provided were tailless breeds either. This is not possible. After additional research I found they have an F rating on BBB for similar complaints.
The results I received were "100% American Domestic Cat". I believe this would be obvious to anyone who looked at my cat. Researching American Domestic Cat the description includes "they are the "mixed-breeds'' of the feline world". I thought the DNA test would provide which breeds my cat is a mix of. Over $100 down the drain!
I bought this as a gift for my daughter who has three "rescue" cats. We've used the Wisdom Panel for dogs for our own two rescue "poodle/terrier mixes" It was fascinating to see the breeds of which they were a part. My daughter can't wait for the results for her three girls.
It was pretty simple to set up the kit, even though my cat makes it hard to put anything in his mouth I was glad the swabs were small.
It was a cool test to see where our shelter cat came from and to get information about health/traits. We didn't learn anything surprising, but it was entertaining nonetheless. Collecting the sample was a bit of a process, but I made my cat into a purrito, took the swabs, then gave her a treat.
