AffinityDNA Dog Paternity DNA Test Kit | At-Home Sample Collection Cheek Swab Kit for Sire, Dam and Puppy | Canine Parentage Results in 2 Weeks | A Complete Kit with No Extra Fees

• ACCURATE DOG PARENTAGE TEST: Our Dog Paternity Test is a quick and easy way to accurately determine the parentage of a dog, by measuring DNA markers. Each dog has 2 alleles at each DNA marker (loci), one of which is inherited from the dam (mother) and the other from the sire (father). Our test uses a profile of 16 genetic markers, or loci, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to accurately determine parentage.
• ADDITIONAL DOGS: Testing of the sire, the dam, and the progeny (puppy) is included in the price and, when all three are tested, we can confirm parentage with a probability of more than 99.99%. Please contact us before ordering if you need to test additional sires or puppies, or if the potential sires are closely related.
• WHY TEST THE MOTHER? You may know who the mother is, but it is important to include both parents, because this makes testing much more powerful and leads to more accurate results. The mother’s sample is used to eliminate her half of the DNA contribution, reducing the incidence of a sire being falsely confirmed as the biological father. Please contact us if the mother is not available for testing.
• COMPLETE TESTING KIT: The DNA Sample Collection Kit Contains - 12 x sterile mouth swabs (4 swabs each for sire, dam and puppy), step-by-step sample collection instructions, registration form and return envelope. Results in 2 weeks or less from receipt of samples at the laboratory.
• ABOUT US: AffinityDNA is an industry-leading DNA Testing company with more than 15 years’ experience in the DNA business & established partnerships with some of the most highly accredited DNA testing laboratories in the world.

Product description If you have any doubts about the parentage of a litter, including the possibility that you may have a multiple sired litter, then a Dog Paternity Test can provide the answers you need. Dog paternity testing is a very valuable tool, because it provides accurate breeding records. These records are a guarantee of the dog’s pedigree and ancestry and therefore enable breeders to offer purchasers DNA certified pedigrees, while building a sound reputation based on trust and credibility. Our Dog Paternity Test is a quick and easy way to accurately determine the parentage of a dog, by measuring DNA markers. Each dog has 2 alleles at each DNA marker (loci), one of which is inherited from the dam (mother) and the other from the sire (father). Our test uses a profile of 16 genetic markers, or loci, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to accurately determine parentage. Testing of the sire, the dam, and the progeny (puppy) is included in the price and, when all three are tested, we can confirm parentage with a probability of more than 99.99%. Additional sires or puppies can be tested for an extra £39 each. Please contact us if you require extra kits. You may know who the mother is, but it is important to include both parents, because this makes testing much more powerful and leads to more accurate results. The mother’s sample is used to eliminate her half of the DNA contribution, reducing the incidence of a sire being falsely confirmed as the biological father. If the dam is not available, our Dog Paternity Test can still be carried out, but it requires extended testing, for which we test an additional 12 genetic markers. We may also recommend extended testing in cases where the sires are closely related, brothers for example, due to the similarity between their DNA profiles. Please contact us for more information. Ingredients The DNA Sample Collection Kit Contains - 12 x sterile mouth swabs (4 swabs each for sire, dam and puppy), step-by-step sample collection instructions, registration form and return envelope. Directions Hold the dog’s head firmly against your body with one hand. With the other hand, insert the swab into the dog’s mouth and place it against the inside surface of the cheek. Firmly rub the swab against the inside of the cheek, rotating the swab for about ten seconds. The objective is to collect loose cheek cells, NOT saliva. Please contact us with any questions. Legal Disclaimer A typical test includes both parents; if the dam or sire is missing, or if the potential sires are closely related, please contact us for more information before ordering. The Dog Paternity Test uses simple and painless cheek swabs to collect a DNA sample. This can be safely obtained from dogs of any age, including new-born or nursing pups. If the puppies are nursing, please separate them from their mother for about an hour before collecting samples, to ensure they do not have milk in their mouth when you swab them. It is important that all dogs to be tested do not eat or drink anything for an hour prior to taking the swabs, or have contact with any toys or bones used by other dogs, to reduce the chance of cross contamination.
