Wisdom Panel Essentials Dog DNA Testing Kit

The Wisdom Panel Essentials Dog DNA Testing Kit uses a quick and easy cheek swab to help provide you with DNA based insights to help you better understand your dog's own unique temperament, wellness needs, and appearance. These insights into what breeds make up your dog can help you to tailor their training program, understand and accommodate their behaviours, create a bespoke care and wellness plan, and predict an adult weight range in puppies to allow you to make informed decisions for their diet and nutrition.

When it comes to your dog’s health and happiness, there’s so much more than meets the eye. That’s why Wisdom Health invented a state of the art genetic test that helps you learn more about your dog’s ancestry, physical traits, and predisposition towards important health conditions. It’s simple – just order your kit online, swab the inside of your dog’s mouth, and send it back (free shipping within UK) to get your results through the Wisdom Panel website.

Can Wisdom Panel identify the breeds in a dog that was born outside the UK?

The Wisdom Panel test was developed using pure breeds primarily from those found on the American Kennel Club and The Kennel Club (UK) registry lists. If your dog was imported from a country other than Canada, mainland US, Western or Northern Europe or you suspect that your dog’s ancestors are from outside these countries/regions; his breed ancestry may not be well represented in our database.

Getting your results

Provided in the kit are two cheek swabs to collect DNA from your dog's cheek. Both swabs are needed to improve the accuracy of the test, so use them only on one dog. You then activate your kit online, write your activation number on the sample sticker and pop the swabs in the post in the box they came in using the free postage paid shipping label provided. After two to three weeks your official report will be available for you online.
