Emergency DNA Collection:
If your dog is killed or severely wounded and will need to be put down, you can still DNA profile your dog. Collect as many of the following samples as possible:
-
​Blood- You or a vet can pull blood and put it in an EDTA anti-coagulant tube (lavender top). Does not need to be refrigerated if mixed with anti-coagulant solution.
-
Hair- Collect a good pinch or two of hair with the roots attached.
-
Tissue- Cut off a small amount of tissue. This can be placed in a tube or clean baggie.
You will need to contact Caitlin Swingley to discuss your next steps with her.
