The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is a repository for many DNA genetic test on dogs and cats. OFA recognizes several DNA testing facilities that perform these DNA tests. OFA does not currently accept tests performed by International Genetics, Inc from InGen's Pawsitive I.D. testing platform. As a dog and/or cat breeder, we believe Pawsitive I.D. is a revolutionary DNA testing product that greatly reduces the cost of genetic testing. Such cost reductions makes testing more affordable and thus more breeders will take part in a (any) testing program. This will result in healthier breeds. By signing this petition, you are asking OFA to accept the Pawsitive ID testing format and post the results obtained from International Genetics, Inc the OFA database.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that so many of you share the same frustration about these unnecessary barriers to better health. It is exhausting work to keep pushing against an organization that refuses to listen but seeing your collective resolve keeps me moving forward.

So tired of the gatekeeping. If the science is sound it should be in the database. Period.

Just let us use the cheaper tests already. My puppies health is what matters not some industry politics.

The prices these days are just way to high. We need options that dont break the bank just to do the right thing for our dogs.

Pawsitive ID is legit. No reason they should be left out when it helps the health of the breed. Get with the times OFA!

TOTAL NONSENSE. The technology works so why are they blocking it? Stop making it so hard to be a responsible breeder.

Lowering costs means more people will actually test there dogs. Its simple math. Let us use these results.
