PooPrints Canine DNA System

PooPrints Canine DNA System is your modern Sherlock Holmes. Have you ever found unwanted doggy droppings around your house or apartment? It’s really annoying to have to clean up other dog’s waste because the real owner fails to do so. Now, canine DNA can be used to identify the culprits who don’t clean up after their pets. A sample of dog’s DNA can be taken by rubbing a cotton swab around inside the animal’s mouth which then sent to BioPet Vet Lab, a Knoxville, Tenn. This company will then enter the data into worldwide database.

The next time you find those un-scooped piles, you can take a sample and mail it to the company to identify the offending owner. The PooPrints system costs $29.99 for the swabbing kit, $10 for a vial to hold the samples and $50 to analyze them, which usually takes a week or two. The company claimed that they have received about 2 dozen apartment complexes around the country application for the service. I guess PooPrints Canine DNA system is like FBI DNA database in mini scale.
