DNA Kits For Pets?

With the boom of DNA kits like 23andMe and ancestry DNA it was just a matter of time before pet DNA kits became widely available. Wisdom Panel and DNA My Dog are just two of the companies that have been making DNA kits for pets. Have you ever wondered what breed your dog is? Are they a purebred like the breeder said? There are many questions that we don’t have answered when talking about our pets and now we can answer a few of them.

We are going to take a look at the pricing and efficiency of these test For Wisdom Panel. Some of these DNA tests are more thorough where they can check if your dog is sick or can have a hereditary disease. Knowing what your pets breed is can help you prevent health disasters before they strike. The more you know about your pets the better.

Let’s start with the first one on our list wisdom panel they have two options just like most DNA kit companies. They have their Canine breed detection kit and the Canine breed and disease detection kit. Just their breed detection kit is around $85, and their breed and disease detection kit is $149.  These are average pricing for human DNA kits as well, so their prices seem fair plus they have discount codes.
