The EpiPaws Dog Age Test
The most accurate way to estimate age in dogs.
Pet Age Test for Dogs - finally give your dog a birthday! This test is specially made for dogs and determines your dog's age by testing epigenetic DNA biomarkers. We're using the newest and latest science to test age developed by EpiPaws founder and Epigenetic Scientist Dr. Andria Beal.
How The EpiPaws Dog Age Test Works
1. Swab
Once you receive your kit, you'll play scientist and collect your pet's DNA with a mouth swab.
2. Mail
After swabbing, you'll mail your pet's sample in using the box and prepaid return label.

The Science of Age Estimation
We use epigenetics to estimate age! Epigenetics is the study of molecules and mechanisms that interact with DNA and affect the expression of genes without changing the DNA sequence. For the Pet Age Test, we quantify DNA methylation at certain areas of the genome.
