Wisdom Panel™ Breed Discovery - Pet Owner Kit
Perfect for the pet owner who wants to discover the full breed analysis of their pup and test for drug sensitivities. All of this and more will help provide the personalised care that their dog deserves.
Wisdom Panel has a database of of 365+ breeds, types, and variants, which in combination with our pioneering breed detection system allows us to identify your dog’s full breed mix, leaving no ambiguity and helping you provide a better training program, understand behaviour, and create an effective daily and long-term care and wellness plan for your dog. Additionally, this kit scans for medication sensitivities using an MDR1 test, helping you know if your pup is likely to have an adverse reaction to commonly used medications. Having tested over 5 million pets, Wisdom Panel have matched genetic relatives to more than 99.9% of the dogs we've tested.
Quick and Easy: Swab, send, and smile. Just swab your pup's cheek, send your kit to our lab with the provided pre-paid shipping and you'll get results in 3-4 weeks. You’ll be emailed an official ancestry report revealing your dog’s unique genetic background.

Here’s how Wisdom Panel™ tests deliver actionable insights on traits, and health for both dogs and cats.
4 Easy Steps. One Comprehensive Report.

Most Wisdom Panel™ results arrive around 2-3 weeks after our lab receives your dog's DNA sample. That said, extended times sometimes occur due to circumstances beyond our control (e.g., volume at the lab, holidays, illnesses, natural disasters). You'll get an email notification when your results are ready. Please note—results are digital and available in your online account only. No physical report will be mailed, but you may download a printable technical report from your account.
We recommend waiting at least two hours after feeding your pet a meal or treat to swab. (Water is fine—no delay necessary.) This helps ensure you get an uncontaminated sample.
