GENERAL

  • For each horse, use a separate collection kit (a ziplock bag plus ID card).

    If not using a kit, you can send the hair in a sandwich type ziplock bag, or a small envelope (Please do not seal envelope by licking the flap, as any cells present in saliva can contaminate the sample and compromise the accuracy of the test!)
  • Fill out an ID card (if submitting without a kit, please just indicate on a slip of paper: name and/or ID#, breed, sex, color, markings, owner) and place it in the bag.
  • With each shipment include a filled-out form providing your name, address & contact information, your horses’ information (breed, name, sex, ID, tests requested), and payment method. Please attach an additional sheet if more space is needed.

    NOTE: Please provide information on your horse breed, name, and registration number (including what registry), as you would like it to appear on the DNA Certificate.
  • The cost is $40 per single test per horse.
  • You can pay by check (payable to Pet DNA Services of AZ), Visa or MasterCard.
  • Mail to: Pet DNA Services of AZ, P.O. Box 7809, Chandler, AZ 85246-7809, (tel: 602-380-8552).
  • Results will be available within 7-10 business days after receiving specimen(s). THANK YOU for YOUR BUSINESS!
