DNA Test Kit - donated by Western Farm Center.

Where does Buddy get his curly tail from?  Why does he love digging holes in the backyard?  Could I be doing more to make him happier and healthier?  Your dog may not be able to tell you the answers – but his DNA can.

You know almost everything about your dog, now you can know a little more.  Wisdom Panel™ Insights, the most comprehensive mixed-breed cheek swab DNA test on the market, can help explain a mixed-breed dog’s ancestry.

Over 25 million mixed-breed dog owners know their dogs…but not as well as they could. With the simple swipe of a cheek swab, Wisdom Panel Insights can determine the ancestry of a mixed-breed dog by testing for more than 170 breeds, the largest database on the market.  Within three weeks, dog owners will be e-mailed an official Ancestry Report that reveals the dog’s genetic background.

A dog’s ancestry can influence him 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.
