6 Easy Steps for the One-Minute Cheek Swab Test
Before you begin, please read these instructions carefully and complete the information on the back of this form
as well as on the Donor Specimen Envelope provided. Ensure your dog does not eat or drink (other than
water) for one hour before starting.
1. Remove the Sterile Swab from packaging by holding on to the handle. Do not touch the tip.
2. Place the swab between the cheek and gum of the dog. Firmly rub swab tip against inner surface of the
dog’s cheek in a circular motion several times for 20 seconds.
3. Place the swab in the Donor Specimen Envelope. Do not seal the envelope yet.
4. Repeat steps 1-3, using the other sterile swab provided, and swabbing the dog’s other cheek. Place the
swab in the Donor Specimen Envelope. Do not seal the envelope yet.
5. Allow the two sample swabs to air-dry in the unsealed envelope for 25 minutes before sealing.
6. Place sealed Donor Specimen Envelope along with your completed form (on the other side of this page) in
the supplied mailing envelope. The cheek cell samples are stable for several weeks without refrigeration.
