Through this partnership, PooPrints will work closely with Ancestry so pet owners can gain insight into their dog's breed composition and health traits. After a PooPrints DNA sample is collected via cheek swab, residents can elect to share that sample with Ancestry through a streamlined, comprehensive online process. The expert scientists at Ancestry will process the sample and deliver comprehensive breed and health information directly to the owner.
“At Ancestry, we're committed to helping people uncover meaningful connections, and this extends to their beloved pets,” said Caitlyn Bruns, Senior Manager at Ancestry. “By partnering with PooPrints, we're excited to provide pet owners with actionable breed and health insights that foster stronger bonds and better care for their dogs.”
This enhanced offering not only answers the top question residents ask PooPrints, “What's my dog's breed?” but also empowers them with tools to make informed decisions about their pet's well-being.
“This partnership enhances our mission to promote responsible pet ownership, by providing pet owners with even more tools to care for and connect with their dogs,” said J. Retinger, CEO of BioPet Laboratories, the parent company of the PooPrints program. “This service will be an affordable add-on for all pet owners registering with PooPrints, enhancing the lives of both the pet parent and the pet.”
Since 2008, PooPrints has pioneered the use of DNA technology to create cleaner, more pet-friendly communities. With a presence in over 2 million apartment homes across the U.S., a growing international footprint, and a database of more than 1 million dogs, PooPrints has helped reduce pet waste by up to 96% in participating locations. The partnership with Ancestry furthers the company's commitment to providing innovative, practical solutions for pet owners. In addition to PooPrints, BioPet also develops other pet owner technologies like GoPatter, a dog health and wellness tracking app designed to reward responsible pet care.
“Residents love having access to insights about their pets, and this new service from PooPrints is another way we can provide value to the pet owners in our communities,” said Kelly Myers, Senior Director of Advantage Solutions at Greystar. “We're always pursuing additional ways to enhance the resident experience and offering detailed breed and health information adds an exciting incentive for residents to participate in PooPrints registrations.”
