FAQ 10

Results are typically delivered 2–4 weeks after the DNA sample arrives at our laboratory. However, there may be delays due to unforeseen circumstances such as lab scheduling, holidays, illnesses, or natural disasters. Once the test results are ready, you will be notified via our KakaoTalk channel and email..

Pitter Petter’s pet genetic tests analyze genetic variations and defects to identify the presence of mutations that may influence hereditary diseases. Each test undergoes strict quality control and analysis processes, ensuring an accuracy rate of over 99.7% for most results. However, it is important to note that genetic testing measures only the risk of disease occurrence and does not serve as a definitive diagnostic tool for diseases.

It is not possible to test for all genetic diseases in pets, as many conditions still have unidentified genes or mutations causing them. However, Pitter Petter can test for a significant portion of genetic diseases with known causes. We are continuously conducting research to expand the range of diseases that can be tested, ensuring we provide the most comprehensive service possible.

Pitter Petter’s genetic testing is designed for pets of all ages and can be performed safely and easily regardless of their age. If the pet is still nursing, it is recommended to separate the pet from the mother for at least one hour before collecting the sample, as maternal DNA can mix with the pet's DNA through the milk. Additionally, provide plenty of water before collecting the sample. Food intake should also be restricted within one hour before sample collection to ensure accurate results.

피터페터의 반려동물 유전자 검사는 모든 연령의 반려동물을 대상으로 고안되었으며, 연령에 관계없이 안전하고 간편하게 검사 받을 수 있습니다. 아직 젖을 떼지 않았다면 젖에 엄마 반려동물의 유전자가 섞여 있을 수 있으므로 검체(구강세포)를 채취하시기 최소 1시간 엄마 반려동물과 분리 시켜 주시고 물을 많이 먹이신 후에 채취해 주시는것이 좋습니다. 음식물 섭취는 검체 채취 전 1시간 이내에는 제한해 주십시오.

Pitter Petter’s genetic testing can identify various genetic mutations associated with disease development. However, it cannot provide a medical diagnosis. If you are concerned that your pet may have a specific condition, it is essential to visit a veterinarian for a thorough medical evaluation and diagnosis.

There is no need to air-dry the swab after collecting the sample. Place it directly into the provided tube immediately after collection. Once the storage tube is sealed, it should not be reopened to minimize the risk of bacterial or fungal growth. For optimal results, ensure proper sealing and send the sample to the lab promptly.

Pitter Petter’s genetic testing does not provide breed identification. It focuses on analyzing genetic variations associated with hereditary diseases and health conditions in pets.

The pickup schedule follows the regulations of each courier service. Once you submit a return request through the Pitter Petter app, we will arrange the pickup and notify you of the schedule. Typically, the courier will visit within 1–2 days after the request is processed. However, the exact timing may vary depending on the submission time and courier availability.

Do not mix samples from other organisms during collection. This can lead to results that may include errors, as accurate interpretation becomes impossible. If you are concerned about cross-contamination or if the collection kit has been damaged, please contact us before sending the sample for processing. We will provide a replacement collection kit if needed.
