DNA tests for dogs can be used in various ways. One of these concerns breed-specific legislation. In some areas, certain breeds of dogs may be banned. If your dog appears to look like any of these banned breeds, you may have the law enforcement knocking on your door. Also pet shelters tend to have a difficult time adopting out a dog that looks like a banned breed. Fortunately, the results of DNA testing can be the answer to these potential troubles. The results can be extremely useful in establishing and/or verifying the breed makeup of mutts. There are also localities, home owners’ associations, housing complexes, etc. that actually requires pet dogs to be subjected to DNA tests to ensure they belong to a breed that is allowed. The results can also be used to establish ownership of dog poop that is left behind by a pet parent who failed to clean after their pet.
If you have questions about DNA tests on dogs, talk to your vet Carrollton, GA.
