Wisdom Panel Essential Dog DNA Kit: Most Accurate Test for 365+ Breeds, 30 Genetic Health Conditions, 50+ Traits, Relatives, Ancestry - 1 Pack

I waited until this was on sale for Prime Day before purchasing for my shelter dog. The kit was super easy to use and the directions were very clear. It was exciting to have the tracking so you knew what step they were on in the testing. The results were CRAZY - 11 different dog breeds and so much information! I have recommended this kit to several of my friends, and I wouldn't do that if I didn't think it was worth the money. A few months later, I even purchased the additional testing information for behaviors, health tendencies and other beneficial tidbits.

My vet suggested getting a doggie DNA test to test for potential genetic issues. He said that he could run tests but it would likely cost more than going this route. I did find out that my dog is a purebred - she is from the pound. I wouldn't have purchased the test just for that. I obviously didn't care since she was a rescue and I have no intention of her having pups or showing her. She pretty much just lays on my furniture and barks at squirrels. It was easy to use and I had the results in about 3 weeks or so. It was kind of interesting to see that she has relatives all over the world. I do wish it had a better family tree to see if she is inbred - I have the feeling that she might be some kind of a mistake litter since the entire litter was left at a pound.

I have to say we were skeptical . But we had just found a stray and he had no owners. He became Crash our newest family member. But we were going rounds on what kind of dog he was lol. We all had our opinions and the bet just said a mutt. We wanted to know more though. This was a great test. So easy to use . You swab your dogs mouth, thats it . And in 2-3 weeks we know what types of dogs he is a mix of and some behaviors he may display( actually already was) and even some medical issues we should be aware of for his future. I could not ask for more. A bet would have charged a few hundred $$$$$$$) to do this i am sure if they even would. We found out our little man is a mix of husky, cattle dog border collie and shiba inu. And it totally fits don't you think? You can get more info for an added cost but this is what we needed. The test functions as made which you will be pleased about. Some say pricey but when you think about what they are actually doing, it is a value. DNA extraction and mapping is not a quick easy task . The test will not upset you furry baby either. Very simple and quick. They have the hardest part you swab count and pet , thats it. I would say it could not be more dog friendly. You will not be disappointed , we are not .

I lost my five to old age. Despite developing health issues I was able to bring them their full life expectancy of their breed. I did not intend to buy anymore as I still had one 16 year old cat left. Never say never. I intended to only foster old pets no one wanted so they could be loved until they passed, plus I was hoping my love would not cause separation anxiety in an older fur baby. That was until my granddaughter needed/wanted me to foster a stray from her neighborhood. Buddy came to me flea & tick ridden with mats all over his body in every conceivable area. First foster, first foster fail. Vet estimated 6 months old. Not neutered. First came the flea bath, the groomers, then after getting chip info and current owner refusal to pick him up, (I was hesitant to return him due to the condition he came to me in), I was actually relieved they didn’t pick him up. Next to have him neutered. That left “who” he was and why he kept eating everything he could get his teeth on whether it was food or not. That is when I discovered Wisdom Panel after an internet search. They have a complete program assessment and while certainly not the cheapest DNA result company, their credentials were exactly what I was searching for and the cost reasonable too. I didn’t need a thoroughbred history to be absolutely in love but I did need some DNA history to anticipate future illnesses, especially since two visits to the emergency clinic for accidental ingestion of foreign objects was putting $1500 in the hole already. I was excited when I found the Wisdom DNA test and couldn’t wait for the results. Several people including our vet had given us an idea of his heritage and sure enough the reason I’ve been using my vet for the last 25 years is her expertise and knowledge. She was right on with my little stray mutt. It can’t give you the exact age, but the Wisdm Panel can you just about all the knowledge you need to get the right treatment and to prepare yourself for future life expectancy of health issues. Plus they give you discounts on more detailed information you may want or need. The initial tests were enough for me and what I was wanting to know. This is a good company with a detailed report that more than covers the costs and gives you reliable information about your fur baby. Don’t hesitate to order your test and be the wiser on your stray or adopted fur baby. It’s really easy to do. The results are fast and they keep you notified all the way through. I highly recommend the company, the test and the procedure. Happy knowledge!

This was our third time using Wisdom Panel. We enjoy learning more about breeds our rescue dogs have that we wouldn’t suspect. It is easy to use anx understand. We have not needed a DNA test for our dogs since 2016 until 2024 and I was SUPER duper excited to learn that you can now opt in to learn about related dogs. I was excited because our newest addition was previously used for breeding and was really overbred. Our vet said she could easily have given birth to over 100 puppies. Well, we got our DNA results in about the same amount of time they said they would have the results ready, maybe a couple of days sooner. I had forgotten that we opted in to see relatives of our pet. We found one of our dog’s offspring! We also saw over 50 other more distant relatives. The photo of our dog’s offspring looked just like her! In our situation, our dog was removed from her previous owner due to neglect and abuse, and it upsets me thinking about where her many pitbull puppies could have ended up. I was hoping that I could connect with other users (assuming they have the ability to opt in or out for communication) to just ask how they came across the dog/what their experience was because there are a lot of unknowns. I would 100% give this product 5 stars if they made the option available to communicate with fellow users. I would definitely recommend this product and purchase again.
