CHIC DNA Banking Clinic

We will again be offering a DNA banking clinic where you can have your Newf’s blood drawn for storage in the Canine Health Information Center’s DNA repository. The DNA is stored for future health-related research studies. All Newfs should participate whether pet or breeding dogs, healthy or sick. Unregistered dogs (rescues) and puppies not yet registered can participate as well.


We need 10cc’s of blood from the dog, a health survey, and registration information filled out by the owners. Shipping costs will be paid by NCA. Cost of storing the blood with CHIC will be $10. (A discounted rate is not eligible for a rebate through the Charitable Trust Management Board.) Blood is drawn by experienced veterinarians or veterinary technicians and the fur is not clipped or shaved.


Health surveys can be printed from the CHIC website ahead of time and turned in at the time the dog’s blood is drawn, or, if there are confidentiality concerns, the health survey can be filled out and mailed in by the owner to CHIC. Paperwork is checked only for completeness at the clinic. All information provided will be kept confidential.


Appointments are not necessary and walk-ins are welcome. However, it is helpful to let us know when you are likely to have the dog’s blood drawn. Contact Jennifer Zablotny, DVM.
