More and more dog owners are using dog DNA tests to determine the genetic makeup of their dog.
Veterinarians are a glow in the latest craze to come about in their field in years.
The demand for canine DNA testing stems from the vast number of mixed breed dogs that exist and the fairly accurate analysis that DNA testing can provide.
These canine tests will continue to be popular with a cost in the low hundreds.
The owner recives an at home kit or can go to clinic and a sample of hair or blood is taken from your animal sent to the genetics lab and analyzed for gene expression.
This data is further analyzed to determine the dogs likely DNA ancestry.
DNA labs are doing a very good job at providing dog owners with some of the latest DNA technology the U.
S.
has to offer.
The genetic test is sent to a person's home in the form of a kit.
The same kits that are used on Maury Povich are available for dogs.
Some dogs that are involved in stud cases are using this technology to force stud fees even higher to take responsibility for their dog.
The dog test is fairly cheap and is simple to use.
The genetic test is also widely used by people who sometimes need concrete evidence to that their dog is in fact a stud.
It is a good idea if you want to have a test done to see if the lab is AABB accredited and if not when do they plan on obtaining a license.
Even though some labs without the license are very good it is better to be safe then sorry.
