DNA testing is of growing interest to pet owners and breeders. DNA that is found in any cell of the body can be taken from a simple cheek swab (cotton bud rubbed against the inside of a dogs cheek) or through a blood test.
This DNA can tell us a lot about our pets:
1. What breed it is
2. Whether it is carrying genes that can cause disease
Animal organisations such as Animal Welfare groups and Local Councils can also use DNA to help investigate dog attacks.
