What is Wisdom Panel® 2.0 DNA Test?

With a simple cheek swab, you can uncover DNA-based insights that may help you understand your dog’s unique appearance, behaviors, and wellness needs. You’ll be emailed an official Ancestry Report revealing your dog’s genetic background including:

Mixed Breed Dog: breed ancestry identification back to great-grandparents

Purebred Dog: breed certification and level of genetic diversity

Designer Dog: certification that your dog is a true 50/50 hybrid of two purebred parents

Adult weight range prediction: to help you make appropriate nutrition and diet choices

Breed insights to help you provide a better training program, understand behavior, and create an effective care and wellness plan

How does Wisdom Panel work?

Once your sample is received at the Wisdom Panel lab, it is scanned into the database and assigned to a batch for testing

It then undergoes processing to extract the DNA from your dog’s cells which is examined for the 321 markers that are used in the test

The results for these markers are sent to a computer that evaluated them using a program designed to consider all of the pedigree trees that are possible in the last three generations

The trees considered include a simple pedigree with a single breed (a likely pure-bred dog), two different breeds at the parental level (a first-generation cross), all the way up to a complex tree with eight different great-grandparent breeds allowed

Their computer extracts information from their extensive breed database to fill these potential pedigrees

For each of the millions of combinations of ancestry trees built and considered, the computer gave each a score representing how well that selected combination of breeds matched to your dog’s data

The pedigree with the overall best score is the one which is selected and provided to you in your dog’s individualized report

How long does it take to get Wisdom Panel®2.0 results?

Once the sample has been received at the lab, it generally takes 2-3 weeks for the sample to be tested, results generated and report available for download on their website

You will receive email notification when the report is available for download

Can Wisdom Panel® 2.0 identify health issues or disease pre-dispositions?

Wisdom Panel® 2.0 can determine the breed makeup of a dog – it is not designed to determine which disease traits – if any – might be present in a dog

The real value in this test is that with knowledge of a dog’s breed ancestry, owners can work together with their veterinarians to develop a more targeted care plan for their dog and have a better understanding of their dog’s physical and behavioral traits

This one-time investment helps owners feel confident they are providing their dog with the best care possible

Can puppies be tested with Wisdom Panel® 2.0?

Yes, Wisdom Panel® 2.0 is designed for dogs of all ages and is safe and easy to be used at any stage in a dog's development

However, it Wisdom Panel® recommends waiting until a puppy has been weaned to prevent cross-contamination from suckling on their mother and having cells from her skin and milk in their mouth at the time of swabbing
