Initial DNA testing Costs
What does PooPrints cost?
A dog owner swabs the inside of his or her pet's cheek and mails the sample in to Biopet, where a DNA sample is taken and entered into the company's World Pet Registry for $40.
How accurate is PooPrints?
According to Retinger, PooPrints technology uses 16 genetic markers to identify a match and is so accurate that the probability of another dog having the same genetic profile is often as high as one in 44 sextillion. That's 44 followed by 21 zeroes.
Does PooPrints test for breed?
PooPrints is not a breed test. We analyze 16 unique genetic markers that do not determine breed or any physical characteristics. We store these 16 markers on file. Any time your community sends in a waste sample, we extract the DNA from the same markers and compare it to all cheek swabs on file to determine a match.
What are PooPrints used for?
