Know Your Pet DNA by Ancestry: Dog DNA Breed Identification Test, Genetic Traits, DNA Matches, Dog DNA Test

From a company that has a good pedigree, yes a quick pun, I had expectations for this kit as I have had a DNA test for myself.This is done in almost the same way as a human one. However, although they say easy, not quite as easy as I had hoped. For this you have to swab the inside of your pets mouth. For some that might be simple, not quite for or rough collie.The rest of the process is simple. Pack, send and keep check if the process via the app. Then the results.As yet we have not received the results but they hopefully will be interesting. Not only to us but the breeder as the breeder was trying to get back to the original Scottish rough collie.Very pleased with the kit and look forward to the results.Price wise, well there is no reason why they should be any cheaper than the human equivalent so no problems.

I've been thinking about doing a DNA test on my girl because I always get asked if she's full breed (which we believe she is) as she has a white mark on her chest and is quite small for her breed.Received and registered the test on 11th Feb, sent off the following day.The test was super easy to do, wipe the swab around her cheeks and place in the pre filled vial, pop into bag supplied and pack in the box, then send. The whole process from registering to sending is straight forward.The process seems a little slow to me, or maybe I'm just impatient? It's been just over 3 weeks and I keep checking the website as I've not had many emails confirming what stage the process is at.Can't wait to get the results, and when I do, I'll update my review.Marked a star down purely because it's a bit cheaper to buy on their actual website

The product itself was easy to use, however the fine print is that it takes a while to get to the lab, so 3 weeks for results turns into 3 weeks from testing which is 2-4 weeks from receipt. So it's more like 3 months until results. This was all for the BSL legislative chaos so I was in a bit of a rush to find out what the puppy rescued was.The test was apparently lost in the post, I chased and chased and now 4 months down the line I cannot get a refund for the product on Amazon and Ancestry will not provide one because it was purchased through Amazon. So I have a DNA sample sent off, not received and a wasted cost as I still don't know what the dog is.The customer service from Ancestry is slow but polite. All in all a learning curve.

Registration is easy. The process of getting a sample is straightforward although a little disturbing for dog. It is easy to send and you just have to wait six to eight weeks for the results. Received an email confirming receipt which is reassuring. There are too many marketing emails however. I hope that the results are not too USA focused. I will review when received!Huge disappointment - received an email supposedly with a link to results but actually to a login page - completely impenetrable. So NO ACCESS to results. Beware!

The sample was very easy to do and all the instructions were easy to follow. Just do the sample and send it back for free then wait for the results. I sent mine off on the 11th February and we are now on the 4th March and her swab is now being analysed at the lab. You can track the process online so you know what stage your sample is at, hopefully it won't be long until I receive the results now.

Ordered this for my daughter as she is curious about her rescue dogs pedigree and is often asked if full mastiff although adopted him as mix breed.The instructions are clear and it is simple to use although may depend on dogs personality, I know my pup probably wouldn’t have been as calm whilst take saliva sample 😅.There is quite wait for results 6/8 weeks but googling this company they seem very reputable.I do think a little expensive unless needing to confirm pup is full breed for some reason

Received our test kit on 21st Feb and returned same day.I’m still waiting for them to say they’ve received my dogs test!!I emailed them, but they don’t replace tests until 40 days has passed.
