Cloning is the process of producing a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism. No programmed changes to the DNA occur, resulting in individual cells and/or organisms that have the same DNA.

A cloned pet is a genetic twin to the original animal. The clone has exactly the same DNA as the original animal and so will be the closest living replica to the original animal, just born at a later time.

Dog cloning cost with our partner, ViaGen Pets & Equine, is currently $50,000 USD. However, the initial genetic preservation is available for just £600 + VAT via Gemini Genetics, with £12 monthly storage charge and £1,600 + VAT for cell culture. Contact us today!

In the UK, tissue samples needed for pet cloning can only be taken after the passing of your pet. This means that planning for genetic preservation and cloning should begin as your pet begins to age, so that you have an end of life plan in place. But don’t worry if you haven’t planned in advance. As long as your pet’s body is kept chilled after their passing and you contact us within 5 days of their passing, we will assist you in getting the samples to us as quickly as possible for the time critical genetic preservation.

The samples can then be preserved indefinitely and the cloning process can be initiated whenever you are ready.

Genetic preservation, the first and time critical stage of animal cloning, is now available in the UK and exclusively via Gemini Genetics!

We are located just outside of Whitchurch, Shropshire but we receive samples from everywhere in the country and all over Europe via secure next-day delivery that we can help you organise.

At Gemini Genetics, we are partnered with USA based pet cloning company, ViaGen Pets and Equine. ViaGen are the world leaders in animal cloning, making them the best partner for the cloning of your much loved cat, dog, horse or pony!

At Gemini Genetics, we understand the importance of your pet’s genetic samples. That’s why for UK clients, we offer a personal courier service where a dedicated driver collects your pets tissue samples from your vet centre and brings them directly back to our premises for immediate genetic preservation.

Please contact Gemini Genetics today for more information and for assistance on your sample transit. Tel: 01948 668 057 / 07710 778 016.

No!! Please do not freeze!! Its very important that if your pet passes away, you keep their body and tissue samples cool, but do not freeze them at any stage. This is because freezing, without the correct preparation and media, seriously damages the DNA and can make the samples non viable. Please refer to the Emergency tab on our website for detailed instructions on how best to preserve your pet’s body for sample taking.

For further information, please contact Gemini Genetics on (UK) 01948 668 057 / 07710 778 016.

Cloned animals have the same lifespan ability as non-cloned animals so can be expected to live for at least as long as the original animal.

The clone will have the exact same DNA as the original pet and will therefore have the same genetics to code for the same appearance as the original pet. However, some aspects of appearance can be modified by the environment. This is seen in animals of different colours as opposed to animals of one solid colour. So, for example, for a tabby cat, some slight variance may be seen in the positioning or colour of some of the coat hairs. The clone will, however, be the closest replica to the original pet and so be of the greatest possible similarity to your original animal. See our blog for more info on this!

A cloned dog is simply a genetic twin of your dog, born at a later date. The cloned twin will share many of the key attributes of your current dog, often including intelligence, temperament and appearance. The genetic identity of cloned dogs is identical to the original dogs.

However, the cloned dog will be its own person may exhibit some variance in environmentally affected traits such as colour patterns and personality.

Cloning is more popular than you think! At Gemini Genetics, we operate on a full time basis, 7 days per week, expertly preserving pet & equine genetics for future cloning. Dogs are our most commonly cloned animal companion!

Yes, cloned animals can breed and just the same as non-cloned animals. If you are specifically interested in dog breeding, our sister company, Elite Kennel Fertility, may be of interest to you. Find more about them here! https://www.elitekennelfertility.com/

Please consult the Emergency tab on our website for detailed information about what to do with a sudden death.

The most important event post death is that the animal’s body is kept cool but not frozen. Inform your vets straight away that they must keep the body cool via refrigeration but must not freeze the body at any stage. Freezing seriously harms the DNA.

The next stage is to make contact with Gemini Genetics, and we will assist you with the sample taking and shipping process. Tel: 01948 668 057/ 07710 778 016.

At present, cloning can only be achieved from skin tissue samples.  To produce a clone, the samples have to be capable of regenerating and skin tissue is currently the best sample type for this. If you have hair or other samples, you can keep them as a keep’s sake and for if/when later technology becomes available.

At Gemini Genetics, we tend to use a small skin sample from the animal’s ear as it is easily accessible relatively non-fatty tissue.

Is dog cloning legal in the UK?

Dog cloning isn’t legal in the UK, but you can preserve your dog’s DNA for dog cloning, and you can legally own a cloned dog in the UK. So you can clone your dog if you live in the UK, but the actual cloning part is currently done in another country.

So what happens here in the UK and at Gemini Genetics?

Gemini Genetics is based in the UK and is here to carry out the time-critical genetic preservation and cell culture steps of the dog cloning process. These are the first stages of the dog cloning process and can be completed here in the UK. It is important for these 2 stages of the dog cloning to be completed in the UK because these are time critical stages of the dog cloning process. If your dog passes away, you only have 5 days to submit a skin sample for cloning. It is easier, safer and quicker to ship valuable samples to our UK centre for the time critical genetic preservation & cell culture, versus trying to export, where you can risk delayed and lost transit issues.

Once we have completed the genetic preservation & cell culture stages of the dog cloning here in the UK, and once the owner tells us they are ready to ‘clone my dog’, the animals DNA will be shipped to our US partners ViaGen Pets & Equine, the world’s leading pet cloning company. For the remaining dog cloning stages to take place in the USA.

Even though cloning your dog, cloning your cat, or cloning your horse isn’t able to be done in the UK directly, you can still own a cloned dog, cloned cat, or cloned horse across the UK.

Dog, cat and horse cloning services at Gemini Genetics are here to make the cloning process safer and more accessible!

Did you know you can start the process of dog cloning for just £600 + VAT.

Contact us today for more information! UK based and in association with world leading pet cloning company, ViaGen Pets & Equine.
