User questions & answers

Question:	How long do you let the swabs "dry" before putting them in the sleeve to mail
Answer:	I used the little places in the sleeve to let them dry and I let them dry about an hour. The put them into the sleeve, unsealed and sent the whole thing back. I got got good results on all specimens
Question:	Can you do this DNA test on a puppy or is it better to wait until the dog is full grown
Answer:	Actually you should wait at least until the puppy is no longer nursing on the mom. That Can skew the results.
Question:	Will it provide results for mixed beeeds
Answer:	One of my puppies results came back with 12.5% “breed groups”. If you want those specific breeds, they charge an additional $89. Says results in a couple days, I got them in a few seconds. So they obviously already had that info ready. Deceptive advertising to play with the results that way...
Question:	Will the test identify chubacabra dna
Answer:	Yes! The test results showed that my dog had 20% chupacabra DNA but it could be that my dog ate a chupacabra. I’m not 110% sure

User questions & answers

Question:	There are two swabs that come with the kit, so can we test two dogs at the same time or do two separate kits need to be purchased
Answer:	You will need a separate kit for each dog. The two swabs are to insure that a good sample is taken. We tested our two dogs using separate kits and were very happy with the results!
Question:	Does this test cover wolf
Answer:	The test does not cover wolf detection. Get a different test.
Question:	My dog just died, would it work to rehydrate his saliva in his water bowl and swab from there
Answer:	Sorry for your loss. I don't think this answer will help you now since it has been about 11 weeks since your original question and I'm not sure if the saliva DNA is still good after that long, But hopefully this may help someone else who has the same question about their deceased dog. On the DNAmydog.com website they now have a DNA test for deceased dogs for $157. They need anything that the dog chewed on or had oral contact with. chew toys, (unwashed) blankets they chewed on, toothbrush, etc.. Here's the link : http://dnamydog.com/dna-deceased-dogs.php You may want to call them (416-691-4160) just to be sure you can't still send them something and get some results.
Question:	How quickly do you get the results
Answer:	I submitted the sample on 4.29 and received the results 5.19. My puppy was a rescue, and on our first visit to the vet she guessed he was 8 weeks old and an Akita /Australian Shepherd mix. The Mars test confirmed that he was a first generation cross of those two breeds, so kudos to my vet! (Boo to the sociopath that left my perfect and gorgeous puppy in a dumpster.)
