Back in Feb '21, dog theft in the UK had reached epic levels. It was all over the news; BBC, newspapers, social media. We learned that thieves were taking microchips out of dogs using scanners, so that the dog lost it's identity and became untraceable, before the thieves cashed in. However, we knew a thief can never change your dog's DNA.
So, we spoke to Police and Crime Prevention bodies and created the UK's first Dog DNA Register.

Now Police can (and do) swab dog saliva when they recover stolen dogs. Safehaus provide the service for free to Police.
This means you could get your dog back if it is positively identified.
You just buy the kit at £29.99, then it's only £6.99 per year thereafter (per dog)

In a word yes, though if you feel you might struggle yourself then we do allow someone else to be named as the sampler. This could be a friend, family member or a vet. Also remember you don't need to open the dog's teeth. Just rub the swab inside the cheeks and on the gum.

Yes of course. These are ideal caring presents for dog owners. As long as we are informed of the legal owner when the pack is activated, then we're all good.

No we do not offer any dog breed test products as we know them to be about 80% accurate.

Once your dog's DNA has been registered, the subscription is for:-

- the inclusion of your dog and the owner on the secure database

- any address, contact or ownership detail changes managed

- funding for Police to swab recovered dogs and for them to be reunited with their owners

- your secure PC/smartphone dashboard access - very useful if you need to report the theft
