Partnering to Strengthen Relationships

Viagen works closely with veterinarians and their staff to help them educate and offer clients options for preserving, protecting, and memorializing a relationship with a beloved animal companion.

Over 500 Viagen Veterinary Network members are beginning to benefit from their partnership with Viagen as part of a network of practices that are addressing patients’ questions and initiating genetic preservation (GP) in their offices, which is the first step in cloning.

Viagen: The Leader in Cloning Services Worldwide

Viagen has been the global leader in genetic preservation and cloning services for equine and livestock for more than a decade. We have set the standard for genetic preservation and animal cloning services, and our companion pet, equine and livestock owners around the world trust that we will always have their best interests at heart.

Genetic preservation is a logical addition to a veterinary practice—something staff can talk to clients about during wellness visits. It is a fundamental step for informing people and engaging them in cloning as a viable option.

Compassionate Protocol Eases Transitions

We are a group of animal lovers who fully understand and share the bonds people develop with their pets. We have seen how incorporating genetic preservation into a practice protocol can help build long-term relationships and overcome the compassion fatigue associated with making decisions about end-stage treatment, pain management, hospice, and last goodbyes.

Veterinarians and practice staff are all too aware of the emotional strain these end-of-life discussions have on their practices. Talking to bereaved pet owners about GP and cloning is a win-win for veterinary practitioners looking to offer compassionate options that lessen the finality of losing a pet.

“As a veterinary oncologist also focused on palliative care and hospice for dogs and cats, I see how this could become a more accessible opportunity for those who want to have an option for a continuum with a genetically-similar pet who they are on the verge of losing. I’ve had cloned dogs as patients and the owners are very happy with their decision.”

— Dr. Alice Villalobos, world-renowned Los Angeles veterinarian

Simple Procedure Produces Extraordinary Results

Viagen Pet’s technologically-advanced process begins with genetic preservation, a basic biomedical procedure used to safeguard and maintain a pet’s DNA. Veterinarians can offer genetic preservation at any stage of a pet’s life by using a dedicated Viagen GP kit and sending a DNA sample taken during a routine procedure or wellness visit to the Viagen cryostorage facility to be processed and preserved. In case of an emergency. Please click here to learn about emergency protocol procedures.

To produce a clone, the Viagen technician replaces the nucleus of a donor egg with one of the founder’s frozen cells. Viagen’s proprietary treatment process joins this egg and cell together to produce an embryo, which a highly-trained Viagen embryologist then implants in a surrogate. An identical genetic twin is delivered after a normal gestation period. Viagen assumes full responsibility for the long-term care and well-being of all egg donors and surrogates.

THE PROCESS

How Animal Cloning Works

STEP 0

Cloning the animal begins with a simple truth—your animal is one of a kind.

Through our precise and proven process, Viagen can help you bring that same companion back into your life as a genetic twin, sharing your dog’s DNA and often the same intelligence, temperament, and appearance.

STEP 1

The first step is genetic preservation.

Your veterinarian collects a small tissue sample through a quick, minimally invasive procedure.

STEP 2

The Viagen lab receives the information.

That sample is then sent to Viagen, where our scientists culture new cells containing your dog’s exact genetic makeup. These cells are carefully frozen and stored, giving you the option to clone whenever the time is right.

STEP 3

We initiate cloning, whenever you’re ready.

Our team uses one of these preserved cells to begin the cloning process. The cell is fused with the egg of a donor female dog, forming an embryo that grows naturally. That embryo is then transferred to a healthy surrogate mother, and after a normal pregnancy, your dog’s genetic twin is born.

STEP 4

Begin the journey.

Cloned dogs live full, healthy, and happy lives, with no increased risk of health issues. Throughout the process, Viagen provides clear communication, expert guidance, and compassionate care, because bringing your dog back is not just a scientific achievement. It’s a personal journey, and we’re honored to take it with you.

Options for U.S. Pet Lovers

Viagen advanced technology brings U.S-based cloning services within reach of more pet lovers, offering canine cloning for $50,000 and feline cloning for $50,000. We offer a 100 percent money-back guarantee if a healthy pet isn’t delivered. Our GP service costs $1,600, with a $150 annual storage fee.

A cloned puppy or kitten is simply a genetic twin born at a later date, and should share many of the original’s attributes, including intelligence, temperament and appearance. Research has shown cloned animals have the same health traits and life expectancy as other pets.

Viagen is the only American company that clones puppies and kittens utilizing pet cloning services in full compliance with all U.S. regulatory standards and humane pet care practices. We expect this will increase demand for cloning and genetic preservation of companion pet DNA.
