Canine DNA Test – Genetic Identification of Dogs

The Canine DNA Test is a genetic analysis service that allows you to obtain a dog's individual genetic profile from a biological sample.

Canine genetic identification provides useful information for distinguishing one animal from others and, when the corresponding technical requirements are met, can be used in kinship verification and genealogical documentation procedures.

What is a canine DNA test used for?

Genetic identification of dogs allows you to:

• Obtain an individual genetic profile of the animal.
• Facilitate its genetic identification using DNA markers.
• Support kinship studies, when the necessary profiles are available to perform the comparison.
• Provide genetic documentation for certain breeding and genealogy procedures, provided that the analysis meets the requirements demanded by the corresponding entity.

How is the dog DNA test performed?

The procedure consists of collecting a biological sample from the dog, usually by means of a buccal swab or another method indicated by the laboratory.

The sample is sent to the responsible laboratory, where it is analyzed to obtain the animal's genetic profile.

The exact procedure for collection, identification, and shipping of the sample will depend on the service contracted.

Canine genetic identification and RSCE

The Royal Canine Society of Spain (RSCE) establishes specific requirements for DNA analyses used in certain genetic identification and parentage procedures.

If you need the test for an RSCE procedure, it is important to confirm beforehand that the laboratory, the sample collection procedure, and the analysis meet their conditions.

What does the service include?

The test is intended for obtaining a canine genetic identification profile.

Before contracting it, consult with Farmacia Pasteur regarding the service conditions, the sample collection method, the necessary documentation, and the result delivery times.

Important: this genetic identification test is not equivalent to a breed analysis, a study of hereditary diseases, or a full paternity test, unless such services are expressly included.
