jennifer monielloParticipantHi there. I received Hermione’s kit in the mail in April and returned it within a few days. It says it’s still be processed for mail. Should I be concerned it got lost on the return trip?

brittney loganKeymasterHi Jennifer, no you do not have to worry it is here. We have had such a large amount of kits coming in at once that we just have not gotten to all of them to be scanned in and processed. We are hoping to catch up this week! Thank you for checking in.

geri rhosenParticipantHi, Im new to the site. HOw do I receive a kit for my guy?

brittney loganKeymasterHi Geri,
In order to become eligible to receive a kit, please fill out at least 10/21 of the behavior surveys on your dogs profile. We do encourage participants to fill out all 21 though so that we have ample information about your dog. Once you have completed the surveys and have a mailing address on your profile, you will automatically go into our queue to receive a DNA kit. Please know that we are a bit backlogged and there is a waiting list depending upon when people enrolled and became eligible. We are doing the best we can to get kits out to all eligible participants, but we kindly ask for your patience since we are a grant funded research group.

brittney loganKeymasterHi Scott, I have checked your information and you are eligible for a kit. We apologize for the long wait. We had run out of our original stock of kits and had to order more. They will be ready very soon to be sent our to waiting participants! We appreciate your patiences, thank you.

susan reesParticipantJust curious but approximately when should I receive information from my dog’s DNA test? I submitted his sample in May 2017. Appreciate your work on this interesting study.

nirali dwinellParticipantHello –
Approximately when should I receive information from my dog’s DNA test? I submitted his sample in Sept 2017? and will it be coming through email?July 27, 2018 at 12:29 am #6338
michele koltookianKeymasterHi Susan and Nirali,
Please know that we do plan on sharing your dog/s results with you but since we are a non-profit we can only sequence the samples in batches as our funding comes in. So we, unfortunately, do not have a set timeline. We just have launched our new website darwinsark.org that does allow those who wish to get their dogs results sooner to make a donation which allows us to speed up the process.July 30, 2018 at 11:52 pm #6362
mary iovinoParticipantHello, I sent Izzy’s DNA kit back months ago, and it says it hasn’t been mailed?? Can you tell me if you have it please, just worried it might not have made it back to you.
Thank you So much😊,Mary IovinoJuly 31, 2018 at 11:44 pm #6372
kay rosswogParticipantI finished the 21 surveys a few months ago before the website changed. I was waiting for my DNA tests. Now I had to indicate that I wanted to receive the free kit and was put on a wait list. I feel like I am going to have to wait longer since I just saw now that I had to indicate what I wanted.

kathleen morrillKeymasterKay —
The wait list indication is something everyone who hasn’t yet received a kit since the new website launch will need to indicate. On the plus side, the kit should actually come to you faster now that we use a third party shipper to send kits, rather than by hand.

scott jacksonParticipantIt’s been another month, any idea if it’s coming?
