Dog Cloning UK – Step By Step Guide

At Gemini Genetics, we understand the deep bond you share with your dog. As the leading provider of dog cloning UK services, we offer a unique opportunity to recreate a genetic twin of your beloved companion. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand the process:

Step 1: Genetic Preservation

The first step in dog cloning UK is preserving your dog’s genetic material. This is done through a skin sample, which can be taken while your dog is alive (with veterinary approval) or after they have passed away.

Live Sample Collection:
Requires veterinary consent.
4 small skin biopsies (6mm each) are taken from the inner thigh via veterinary procedure and relevant anaesthesia.
This ensures minimal discomfort for your pet.

Post-Mortem Sample Collection:
A snip of ear tissue (2cm x 2cm) and 4 skin biopsies from the chest, neck, and inner thigh.
Samples must be collected within 5 days of passing and kept chilled (not frozen) at +4°C.
Once collected, the samples are safely shipped to our state-of-the-art laboratory in Shropshire for processing, ensuring the highest success rates for dog cloning UK. You can access our full sample taking instructions for live and post mortem situations here.

 

Step 2: DNA Preservation

Upon arrival at our laboratory, we work to preserve the DNA from the skin samples. This step ensures the genetic material remains viable for cloning, even if you decide to proceed years later.

Cost: £600 + VAT.
Storage: Preserved genetics are stored indefinitely in alarmed liquid nitrogen containers for just £12/month (+VAT).
This stage is a critical part of the dog cloning UK process, allowing you to preserve your dog’s legacy for the future.

 

Step 3: Cell Culture

The next step is cell culture, where the preserved DNA is regenerated and multiplied. This process verifies the viability of the genetic material and prepares it for cloning.

Processing Time: 7-10 days.
Cost: £1,600 + VAT.

Once cultured, the cells are stored alongside the preserved skin sample, ensuring they are ready whenever you decide to proceed with dog cloning UK.

Step 4: Shipping to ViaGen Pets & Equine

When you’re ready to proceed with cloning, we arrange for the preserved and cultured samples to be safely shipped to our trusted partner, ViaGen Pets & Equine in the United States. ViaGen Pets is a global leader in animal cloning, ensuring the highest success rates in dog cloning UK and worldwide.

 

Step 5: The Cloning Process

At ViaGen Pets & Equine, the cloning process involves several advanced scientific steps:

1. Donor Cell Selection: The cultured DNA is selected for cloning.
2. Egg Cell Preparation: The genetic material is transferred into an egg cell.
3. Embryo Creation: The egg cell is fused with the donor DNA to create an embryo.
4. Surrogate Mother: The embryo is implanted into a surrogate dog.
5. Birth of the Cloned Dog: After a normal pregnancy, a healthy cloned puppy is born.

This process ensures that dog cloning UK clients receive a puppy with 99.9% genetic similarity to their original dog.

 

Step 6: Returning Your Cloned Puppy

Once the puppy is weaned, ViaGen Pets works with you to arrange safe transport of your cloned companion to your home. For working dogs, optional training courses can also be arranged upon request.
