DNA Fingerprinting
A DNA fingerprint is literally your pet’s genetic serial number. The chances of another animal having the same DNA fingerprint is almost impossible (billions to one). Having this information gives pet owners the ability to absolutely identify their pet. Think about it. How can you legally identify your pet? Yes, neighbors and possibly your vet could vouch for you in court, but that still could prove problematic. Having a record of your dog or cat’s dna fingerprint would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that your pet is "your pet". It really is you pet’s Pawsitive I.D.™
