A little about the company.
We are an Australian based service providing animal DNA testing direct to breeders and owners throughout the world. We have had 20 years experience in providing the highest quality in DNA testing.
As we know, smart breeders are now using DNA testing to avoid diseases such as feline PKD, as well as to speed up and enhance their breeding programs.
There are many advances in DNA testing that your members may be interested in, and they all can be found at http://www.animalsdna.com
Because we know it is costly to care for the animals we love, the Animal DNA Laboratory would like to help by offering an exclusive 10% discount on all of our tests to members of associations, clubs or societies that register with us.

Great New DVD for Pet Owners

“Caring Responsibly for Your Dog and Cat” is a new resource containing a DVD and Booklet to give to all new pet owners when they are getting a new pet. It is recommended that all breeders provide new owners with this complete information about preparing for and raising a kitten so it can be responsibly cared for.
It has been produced by the Gold Coast Companion Animal Stakeholder Coalition of which the Queensland Feline Association Inc is a member, along with local government, dog breeders, vets, wildlife groups, animal trainers, and animal welfare groups.
The resource contains everything a new owner needs to know to care responsibly for their pet but also to ensure there will be an end to the community problem of stray, unwanted and euthanased pets. While most people assume that purebred pets never end up at refuges, this is not the case. Regardless of this, this professional resource will be of great benefit to all new owners.
The first section is for those thinking about getting a new pet. It lists what needs to be considered before the 15 to 20 year commitment is undertaken. It then goes into detail from preparing the home, to desexing and identifying your pet, helping your pet to adjust to its new environment and other family members, including other pets, to management and training to prevent animals straying or being abandoned.
It also includes Gold Coast By-Laws on one page, as the aim is to make it as complete a resource for pet owners as possible. Many councils are expressing interest in this resource so we are also producing a generic version which will not refer to any specific Council at all but can have an Local Law insert if Councils order the resource. If this does not occur, you can just ask your buyers to check with their local government for their relevant laws.
The DVD/Booklet currently costs $6 each and it is hoped that breeders will purchase the number of copies they need and build this small cost into the price of the cat, so every buyer will get one automatically to help them prepare for their cat and care for it responsibly.

For your copies, please contact either the Shorthair or Longhair Registrars - their details are on the contact page
