Wisdom Panel 3.0 – Canine DNA Testing

This post has been sponsored by Mars Veterinary Wisdom Panel 3.0.
Meet Tachometer – or Tach for Short.   I am pretty sure you have seen him around This Mamas Life every now and then.  He’s a big part of the This Mamas Life family – and has been for over 10 years now.

(Helping wait for Trick-or-Treaters on Halloween)

They say that Tach is a purebred Papillon, just bread large.  And that he is.  A typical Papillon is usually under 10lbs… My tach is well over 20lbs – and about 2 times their height/length.  So I’m pretty sure that he has been mixed with another breed.   Having Tach tested using Wisdom Panel 3.0 would help determine his true breed as well as check for MDR1 Mutation, and developing a nutrition plan for his breeds specific needs.

Benefits of DNA testing your dog include:

• MDR1 mutation testing for drug sensitivity.
• The ability to develop a training program that works with their natural instincts (breeds) and a better understanding their behavior characteristics.
• Developing a nutrition plan for breed-specific needs and/or achieving/maintaining healthy weight.
• Assists in determining what the adult size of your dog might be.
• Understanding the breeds within your dog, in order to lookout for any breed-specific health concerns or common issues.

 

 

Wisdom Panel® 3.0:

• It covers over 250 breeds, types and varieties; including all those recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC).
• The test can be run for mixed-breed, designer, or purebred dogs. (The owner chooses at the time of kit activation.)
• Wisdom Panel 3.0 can provide ancestry information back to the great-grandparent level.
• It also tests for the MDR1 Genetic Mutation & gives screening results
• The Wisdom Panel 3.0 can also give a predicted weight profile.
• Can be done at home and consists of two swabs that the owner rubs between the gum and the cheek for 15 seconds to collect skin cells for DNA extraction.
• Results take approximately 2-3 weeks from the time the test reaches the lab.

With the help of Wisdom Panel 3.0, we can learn more about our fur-babies.  Letting us be able to tend to their needs better and also be able to help protect them.  Tach is a part of the family, just as much as Lil C is.    I am so glad that there is now something out there that will help give us a little insight to our fur-babies DNA makeup.
