– Can a Wisdom Panel test determine the sex of the dog tested
– It can. The report will always default to the gender of the dog that was entered at activation, but we are able to see the dog’s genetic gender in the raw data.

– Can I DNA test my puppy
– Yes! Wisdom Panel is designed for dogs of all ages and is safe and easy to use at any stage in a dog’s life. That said, we Wisdom Panel Essential Dog DNA Test recommend waiting until a puppy has been weaned to prevent cross-contamination from skin and other cells within the mother s milk. Also, please note, it can be very difficult to observe breed traits in puppies as they are growing and developing rapidly. Most dogs will not achieve their final mature physical traits until they are at least one to two years of age.
