In addition to offering genetic testing services for the detection of targeted canine diseases, VetGen offers two additional valuable services. These services, DNA Profiling and DNA Storage, can be ordered at the time a genetic test is requested, or at any other time, independent of other tests. If DNA Profiling and/or Storage services are ordered along with genetic testing, or any time up to thirty (30) days after genetic testing, a separate Sample Collection Kit for either of these services will be provided.
VetGen encourages you to have your dog DNA Profiled to establish positive identification. Some of the reasons why you may wish to utilize this service include:
1. If you wish to register the results of your dog's genetic test with the OFA, positive identification is required. VetGen's DNA Profiling service satisfies this requirement. All you need to do is submit to the OFA a copy of our formal DNA Analysis Summary Report which includes your dog's test results along with VetGen's profile results for your dog in order to satisfy the OFA's requirements for registration.
2. VetGen's DNA Profiling service positively identifies your dog in the event that it is stolen and subsequently recovered by a third party.
3. This service can be used to verify or exclude parentage.
Besides the profiling and parentage services for Canines,
VetGen will also provide DNA Profiling and DNA Parentage testing services for
the following animals: -
Cats, Horses, Pigs, Cattle, Sheep and Goats.
VetGen can store your dog's DNA sample for ten (10) years. Some of the reasons why you might want to utilize this service include:
1. As VetGen continues to develop new DNA tests for genetic diseases, you can use your stored DNA to test your dog instead of repeating the sample collection process.
2. As VetGen develops new DNA tests for canine genetic characteristics other than diseases, you can use your stored DNA to test your dog instead of repeating the sample collection process.
3. Stored DNA can be used for dog identification or parentage determination at a later date.

For both DNA Profiling and DNA Storage, VetGen's sample collection process is easy, safe, and can be done in your home. By following the simple instructions provided in VetGen's Sample Collection Kit, dog owners and breeders collect DNA samples using a soft cheek brush. By gently brushing the inside of the dog's cheek, cells containing DNA are removed. It is this DNA sample that VetGen uses for profiling and storage, and for genetic testing, if ordered.
