Research has proven what veterinarians, shelter workers and adopters have been struggling with for decades – it’s nearly impossible to “guess” a dog’s breed based on physical characteristics alone. 

DNA testing is the only way to correctly identify the breeds that make up your unique, amazing pooch. Get to know your new BFF with a Wisdom Panel 3.0 DNA kit, now available in our ReTail store!

We’ll be proving our point by spotlighting shelter pups who have been DNA tested. You’ll have a chance put yourself in our shoes, place your guesses and see how close you come! Once results are in, we’ll share them with you!
