Good communication and solved an issue with my passcode. Not the company at fault but another customer inputting wrong code. Results received much quicker than expected.

They did completely different test for my dog than I asked them to do

They confused samples which I sent for two of my dogs. They perform wrong test for one of my dog. I have emailed them by communication with them is difficult. I haven't receive any reply yet to my query to perform a correct test as they might have still DNA sample. It was very important test for my dog and it is unacceptable they made such a mistake and they don't respond to my emails

I orderd a comprehensive colour test…

I orderd a comprehensive colour test for my dog, it came in a box with no information of what i was to do with it. Nore did i know it had to be registerd on my online account.and so I swobed my dog with the help of a friend and returned it back on special delivery.
Am aso dyslexic and need help from people...They now sent me an email a few days ago asking me to register the swob on the online account. when I don't have the information as the swob is now with them. It says response time is one working day and yet i have been emailing every day for 4 days now. I have tried to phone and email multiple times explaining everything on 2 different email address about what has happend without any response what so ever...also online account will not register without the registration number....very frustrating...poor service i would like a refund please

Scam

Scam. Don't order anything from them. You won't receive your parcel and when asked for refund they are quiet about that..

Hi Katarina, We shipped your kit in January via Royal Mail Special Delivery. Royal Mail attempted delivery twice and when you didn't collect it from them they shipped it back to us. We emailed you when it arrived back to us with a photo of the returned kit plus the stickers royal mail had applied showing their attempts to deliver, but we received no response. You then emailed us a month later to ask where your kit was. We sent you the photo again and asked whether we had the correct address for you given Royal Mail had struggled to deliver. You responded with "I don't believe that story" despite us having provided images of the physical kit Royal Mail returned to us. We're sorry Royal Mail failed to deliver. Please feel free to leave them a 1-star review instead of us. Your refund has already been processed.

Hi Frances, we are one of 90 veterinary genetics laboratories worldwide and the UK KC have a short list of 5-6 labs they accept testing from. The UK KC have always told their breeders to check which laboratories they will take results from. With respect, if you did not check with the UK KC what their requirements were that is not an issue to do with our laboratory.
