Wisdompanel Activate : How to Activate the DNA Test for Your Dog or Cat
Now you can learn more than ever before about your pet’s ancestry, traits, and health in three simple steps. Swab just 15 seconds to gather a DNA sample.
To successfully collect a good genetic sample from your pet:
- Inspect their mouth between the cheek and gums to make sure you don’t see any food debris
- Open the swab sleeve and remove the swabs. Avoid touching the swab ends
- Firmly roll and rotate the swab end against the inside of your pet’s cheek
- With your other hand, apply gentle pressure from the outside of your pet’s mouth to ensure good contact between the cheek and the swabs.
- Allow the swabs to dry for at least five minutes before returning them to the sleeve
Send your sample to our lab using the prepaid mailer.
Once we receive the genetic sample, the science starts. First, we determine your pet’s DNA sequence at thousands of locations across the genome during a process known as “genotyping.” We then check it against the world’s largest breed database to ensure the highest possible accuracy.
The process is complex, but the outcome is simple: A clear, articulate breakdown of what makes your dog or cat unique

Dig into the results (and throw a breed reveal party)
After two or three weeks and millions of calculations, your results will arrive. And they’ll be actionable. Learning your pet has “a deletion in the pro-opiomelanocortin gene” is fine. But knowing that means they’re predisposed to overeat—and getting suggestions on how to manage that—is better. The results may also be surprising. Many mixed pets display traits associated with certain purebreds, despite not having those breeds anywhere in their ancestry. Such are the wonderfully unpredictable ways of genetics! But one thing’s for sure, you’ll know more about your dog or cat than you ever imagined possible. And you’ll be able to provide better care as a result.
