INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHEEK SWAB COLLECTION
(Canine DNA Testing)
* * NOTE: Please type or print legibly all information on Test Request Form * *
IMPORTANT NOTE:

The dog should not have eaten anything for at least 2 hours before collecting the sample.
Do not collect samples from puppies which are being nursed – wait until after weaning.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Fill out the test request form as completely as possible. Label the applicator package with the name & breed of the dog, and your name.
Open the applicator package on the top where indicated (about 1 inch). Each package contains two applicators. (Please avoid touching the cotton end to avoid contaminating the sample!)
Pull one applicator at a time, and insert the cotton tipped end between the cheek and gum. Press cheek with the other hand against the applicator, while swirling and rotating the applicator between fingers for about 10-20 seconds. Make sure that the cotton gets rubbed all around against the cheek.
Pull out the applicator and insert back into the package (cotton end first).
Repeat the procedure on the same dog with the second applicator on the other side of the mouth. Return the swab to the package.
Let the package sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until the cotton tips are dry.
Seal the open end of the package with tape, and place with the form in an envelope.
The cost is US $40 per single test per dog. (We accept Check, Money Order, Visa, Master Card, Paypal.)
STANDARD results will be available within 7-10 business days after receiving specimen(s).
