Care with confidence

Knowing your pet’s genetic makeup allows you to tailor care to their unique needs and support their health and happiness for years to come.

Ancestry

Get the most accurate breakdown of your dog’s breeds. Looks can be deceiving. Even trained experts get breed identification wrong about 75% of the time when judging by visual cues alone.

That’s why Widsom Panel goes beyond appearances and screen for the genetic markers of 365+ breeds.

How? Wisdom Panels has built the world’s biggest breed reference database and most advanced dog breed detection system—which is over 98% accurate.*

Together, these allow us to report your pup’s breed mix down to 1% so you can tailor care to their unique personality.

Meet your pup’s extended family.

To accurately detect your dog’s ancestry, you need three things: a large breed database, a sophisticated algorithm, and a significant number of markers strategically placed across the genome.

Wisdom Panel has got all three, which allows them to map your dog’s ancestry back three generations—all the way to their great-grandparents.

Identify medical complications early.

Due to genetic mutations, common medications and procedures are highly dangerous for some dogs. With 25+ medical complications tests, Wisdom Panel™ Essential helps identify conditions that could cause serious problems during routine procedures, such as spaying or neutering.

Because there’s nothing like having peace of mind about your pup’s health and safety.

Traits

Predict adult size and ideal weight. When it comes to body size, "healthy" looks different for every dog—even among those of the same breed. But planning for nutrition, providing enough exercise, and even picking a big enough dog bed doesn’t have to be a guessing game. After all, your pup’s DNA holds clues to their ideal adult weight range.

FAQ

How long does it take to get my results?

You should receive your results 2-3 weeks after our lab receives your pet’s DNA sample. We’ll send you an email when your results are ready. Please note: due to the digital nature of our product your results will be available in your online account only. No physical report will be mailed.

How can I track my Wisdom Panel sample online?

You can follow the progress of your DNA sample online with our test tracker. To see the tracker, log into your account and click on the status of the sample in question.

Can I get a printed copy of my report?

For most Wisdom Panel™ results, the option to download and print a Technical Report is available by visiting your pet’s “highlight” tab. At the bottom of that page, you’ll find a button that says "Download Technical Report".

Can a Wisdom Panel test determine the sex of the dog tested?

It can. The report will always default to the gender of the dog that was entered at activation, but we are able to see the dog’s genetic gender in the raw data.

Can I DNA test my puppy?

Yes! Wisdom Panel is designed for dogs of all ages and is safe and easy to use at any stage in a dog’s life. That said, we recommend waiting until a puppy has been weaned to prevent cross-contamination from skin and other cells within the mother’s milk. Also, please note, it can be very difficult to observe breed traits in puppies as they are growing and developing rapidly. Most dogs will not achieve their final mature physical traits until they are at least one to two years of age.
