We use a simple cheek swab method for DNA collection that may be performed at home by the dog owner. This is a routine procedure for DNA sample collection and presents effectively no risk to your dog.

Important note: all envelopes, cytology brush wrappers, and consent forms are pre-numbered to prevent sample misidentification. Prevention of such misidentification will most effectively be achieved if all collection for a given patient is fully complete before opening another packet and collecting from the next patient.
