Testimonials

Very pleased with Paw Print Genetics in both quality and experience of the staff and founders, as well as their sound methodology and best practices in DNA testing and profiling for animals. I have tried several other laboratories providing the same services, and Paw Print Genetics has the most accessible staff, easy to read and understand results, and excellent pricing.

Extremely easy and quick process. We were kept in the loop the entire process. Even after we got our results back they made sure we were able to understand the results and they ensured we were happy customers. I would recommend Paw Print to anyone looking to make sure their pet is healthy.

“I couldn’t be more impressed with a DNA lab than Paw Print Genetics. I recently just discovered them and did my first DNA testing with them on a couple of breeding prospect puppies. They got my results in a timely manner, and when I had a question about them, Blake emailed me several times and explained things in detail in layman’s terms so I could understand completely my results! I highly recommend this company for DNA testing on breeding dogs. Great job guys, and I salute you Blake! Thanks for all of your help!”
