FAQ's

Can I collect the DNA myself? Yes, the collection process is very simple and can be performed at home by following the enclosed instructions.

Does DNA collection hurt my pet? The DNA collection is painless. The sterile, gentle polyester tipped swab minimizes any chance for infection or irritation.

How long does it take to get the results? Results are normally mailed within 2 weeks from the receipt of the sample.

How does BioPet know which breeds are present in my dog? At BioPet, we have spent a considerable amount of time analyzing DNA from purebred dogs to build a comprehensive database that highlights the differences between different breeds. By comparing your dog’s DNA with our database we can identify which breeds are present in your dog.

What is the Ancestry Analysis Certificate? The results of the DNA analysis are printed on a certificate that is suitable for framing. These results will identify the breeds present in your dog’s ancestry.
Why are several breeds listed on my Ancestry Analysis Certificate, and what do the levels mean? In processing, breeds are detected as ranges rather than absolute values. These are then listed on your certificate as Levels, which are defined as follows:

Level 1: Over 75% of the DNA found in your dog is from the breed listed.
Level 2: Each breed listed represents between 37-74% of your dog’s DNA
Level 3: Each breed listed represents between 20-36% of your dog’s DNA
Level 4: Each breed listed represents between 10-19% of your dog’s DNA
Level 5: Each breed listed represents less than 10% of your dog’s DNA

What if there are breeds in my dog that are not in your database? We believe that 92% of the mixed breed population is covered by our validated breeds.

Will you be adding more dogs to your database? BioPet is actively working on adding more breeds to our database. Please check our website at www.biopetvetlab.com for the most up-to-date listings.

Can you confirm that my dog is pure bred? No. The DNA Breed Identification test is designed for the sole purpose of identifying breeds found in the genetic composition of mixed breed dogs. The test can only identify breeds, from those in our database, which are present. If only one breed is detected, it could be that there are breeds present that are not in our database, or that there is DNA present from another breed, but in amounts too small to be detected.
