Do people always ask what breed your dog is? We've got your answer!
Uncover your pup’s DNA mystery and help pets in need at one of our most popular events – DNA Day!
Will your dog have Shepherd genes? Lab? Terrier? Or just a whole lot of adorable?
Reserve your kit for just $60 (Regularly $75). There’s no sales tax, and 100% of proceeds help homeless pets!
How to participate:
1. Reserve your kit below.
2. Pick up your kit anytime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 28, at the Animal House booth near Bailey’s Bark Park during Eggstravaganza (Check out that event, too, to participate in the egg hunt!)
3. Swab your pup! Either bring your dog to the event, and our team can assist with their cheek swab, or get their sample at home!
4. Send your kit to the lab, and you’ll receive your results in just a few weeks!
Promotional pricing is only available March 28, 2026. We will accept walk-ins, but please note DNA Kits not reserved will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis based on how many kits we have available that day.
If you cannot attend the event but are still interested in purchasing a kit, visit the ARL’s Animal House store during normal business hours to purchase a kit at our standard retail price of $75.
