Do not use this company

I test all my breeding stock and puppies and have done for years. In the early days I used this company. I have recently had a litter which showed some anomaly’s with the puppies results. On contacting the firm they were most unhelpful. Stating the terms and conditions which say that to complain you need to do it within a set time frame of two months. It is only now that I find the anomaly results that I have had cause to question their results. Why would I have questioned the results within a two month timeframe. I assumed that they carefully completed the tests I had ordered in good faith. Please do not use this company they do not have any idea how important these results are to future breeding plans and simply don’t care if they get it wrong. Disgraceful customer relations. I have no choice but to retest with another laboratory at my own expense because of their ineptitude.

Turn around used to be fantastic often getting results within 5 days
Now once you send them the sample and the days they are evaluating the sample often another 3 to 4 days plus 14 working days to receive the results
It’s taking too long

Hi Jane, thanks for your review. Our standard laboratory turnaround time is 15 working days but we often deliver results far quicker than this, as you have experienced. Unfortunately, if we receive a large number of samples at the same time this can mean that delivery is closer to the advertised turnaround time.
