I was speaking with another group member about the DM test and we got on the subject of how do we know that this tests results actually belong to the dog submitted? What is stopping someone from sending in a swab for a dog that already tested clear. Yeah we hope people be honest but there are always those that are not. So we would like to know what others think about this. It does seem like it would be easy to send in another dog's swab for another. I really am glad this subject has been brought up. Very interesting to see everyone's thoughts and opinions.

I see post after post here, on FB and other lists advertising DM clear litters. Maybe you don't see them? I can't help that. Different studies are being done, maybe you didn't see April's Review? If not, I can't help that either. I'm one of the lucky ones, never having had a dog w/ DM. I hope with all my might that we find a reliable test. That doesn't change the legitimate questions being raised. I'm not sticking my head in the sand.
