Over 25 million people own mixed-breed dogs. Trying to determine the exact type of dog just from a glance can be challenging. But now there’s a way to tell for sure.
Pet DNA testing is a great way to find out exactly what breeds make up your beloved pet. It’s a simple as a quick cheek swab. In fact, you might be shocked to find out your pet is something completely different than what you initially thought.
Both physical traits and behaviors like digging, herding and barking all come from your pet’s family tree. Knowing the makeup of your dog can help you understand why he acts like he does and how to tailor training, exercise and nutrition to fit his needs.
