What this test Reveals

Age

Do you want to know the age of your pup?

Discover your dog's age and personality traits effortlessly! Our innovative DNA test requires just a saliva swab from your dog to not only determine its age but also reveal four key behavioral traits. Simply collect the saliva sample, send it to us, and within four weeks, you'll receive a comprehensive report outlining your furry friend's age and personality characteristics.

How does our dog age test work?

Our cutting-edge test evaluates the alterations in your dog's DNA associated with aging, focusing on epigenetic modifications. By employing advanced DNA sequencing technology, we are able to decode these modifications. This process allows us to accurately determine your dog's biological age and characteristics.

How accurate is our test?

Our test showcases remarkable precision, accurately predicting a dog's age within 18 months for 90% of cases, and often, these predictions are even closer—within one year of the dog's actual age. The robust scientific basis of our methodology is thoroughly documented in our previously published study.

Personality

What personality traits do we report?

Through our DNA methylation test, we are able to assess several key personality traits of your dog, including energy levels, attention-seeking behavior, fearfulness towards strangers, and reactions to nonsocial stimuli. The scientific basis for our approach is detailed in our previously published study. Here are the definitions of the traits we report:

Energy:

This trait indicates dogs that are highly energetic, constantly active, and enjoy playfulness.

Attachment and Attention Seeking:

This behavior is characterized by the dog's desire to stay close to their owner or household members, actively seeking affection or attention, and showing signs of distress when the owner interacts with others.

Stranger-Directed Fear:

This trait is observed as a fearful or cautious response when the dog is approached by people they are not familiar with.

Nonsocial Fear:

Dogs displaying this trait show fear or caution in response to sudden or loud noises, traffic, and unfamiliar objects or situations, indicating sensitivity to the environment rather than to social interactions.

Useful Information

It does take awhile to get results, but totally worth it! I have a rescue dog who is now my service dog, as well as a competitive athlete. Ethically I will retire him around age 10 but due to him being a rescued stray, I had no idea when I'll need to look at training his successor (it takes about 2 years of training). Now I know he's 3 years old. Looking forward to a nice long time with this partner by my side.

Dog age test

I have done the dog age test twice and I truly believe it was spot on and it’s great information to have when you don’t know when your adopted dog was born. Thank you!

Test Results On point!

Wow! I'm so glad we had Loki's DNA test done with Prosper K9. We sent in his buccul swab that was easy to obtain and mail in. That was for the "Dog Age and Personality' test. We received his test results in a PDF report. He was adopted, so we wanted to have his real age. His personality is on point! We couldn't be happier to have more insight into his true age to insure him and his personality to work on ongoing training with him. Thank you so much Prosper K9 for your wonderful product and professional service.
