DNA Test or Not
You can sign up
If you do not have DNA test results your pet will be classified as
‘Documented’. The only difference is the fact that there is no DNA
Test. You can ‘Document’ them by inputting their information.
Documented pets are $6.00 one time fee.
For those who want to ‘Register’
with DNA:
The sections about DNA below are for you.
If you want to ‘Document’ without DNA Testing you can skip those
sections.
Perform the DNA test
If you haven’t done so already
You can use any of the brands available. The top notable brands include Wisdom Panel,
Embark, DNA My Dog, Orivet, or Basepaws. We have suggestions on preparing for the
test HERE. Our suggestions are not contradictory to any of the brands instructions. They
are just additional steps to ensure that you have the most accurate results.
Then wait for the results.
If you already have test results, HooRah! carry on!

We want to know about you.
The first year of your account is free. All personal details are kept completely private. We
will not share any of your information with any outside entities. After the first year, there
will be an annual subscription fee of $8.00 per year. With this subscription, you will have
access to all Genetic Pet Registry database functions for as many pets as you want.
It is optional for you to supply a few of your physical traits as well. We can build a profile
of you with your pet.
We will verify with the Provider and validate
The Test Results will be published
We will make contact with the test provider and compare the information that you uploaded
with the testing lab. We will then validate your pet’s test results.
How it Works
Register (or Document) your Pet
Add your pet’s information. There is a one time fee for each individual pet. Pets without
DNA tests will be Documented for $6.00. Pets with DNA test will be Registered for $8.00.
For all pets, you will get an Access Code that you can use to share your pet’s information
and maintain your privacy
Upload DNA Test Results
First, you will need to download the file from the testing provider. The various brands
have their own methods of downloading data. You may need to request help from the
provider if you have difficulty. You will then upload this file to the Genetic Pet Registry.
Share the Link from the Test Provider
For Verification
The testing provider will have sent you a link that you can share. Send this link to
verifytest@geneticpetregistry.org .
If you have lost the link (or weren’t provided one), request the link from the test provider.
If you have trouble with this, you can send the pet’s DNA test identification numbers to
verifytest@geneticpetregistry.org .
Breeders
You can Register Litters
If you have a bred pair (Mom and Dad) that are both registered with the Genetic Pet Registry,
you can register the birthed litter/offspring for $4.00.
Those that acquire an offspring from that birth can register their pet for $4.00, and have their
DNA test validated.
