DNA Storage isn't designed to completely replace micro-chipping, but it helps form part of a comprehensive pet identification program and gives you that extra piece of mind should anything go wrong. Micro-chips unfortunately can and do fail and bird rings can be removed, but your pets DNA can't break or be tampered with. In fact DNA storage has many benefits over micro-chipping, especially for small or delicate animals like Koi and some reptiles. It also provides an alternative means of identification for pet owners who are concerned about adverse micro-chip reactions.

As well as the clear advantages for pet security, having a DNA sample at hand also has other benefits: DNA technologies are constantly advancing and a stored sample can also be used for any new breed / species specific tests in the future and may be important in your breeding program (e.g. Paternity tests).

The DNA sample will always remain your property and your can request it at any time.
