About PerPETuate Inc.
PerPETuate, Inc. is a U.S.-based company specializing in pet genetic preservation, offering long-term DNA banking for dog owners who may wish to clone their pets in the future. Unlike other cloning companies, PerPETuate does not perform the cloning themselves but partners with biotech labs to provide this option when clients are ready. This positions them as the go-to solution for pet owners who want to secure their dog’s genetics without making an immediate decision.
Founded by a team of veterinary and biotech professionals, PerPETuate is built around the emotional and logistical needs of grieving or forward-thinking pet owners. Their process is simple, affordable compared to cloning, and gives clients years sometimes decades to consider whether or not to proceed with cloning.

Summary
PerPETuate is the first and only company in the U.S. solely focused on the preservation of pet DNA without immediate cloning. This makes them ideal for pet owners who are emotionally unprepared to begin the cloning process but want to keep the option open. The process involves a non-invasive tissue collection performed by your local vet, which PerPETuate then cryogenically preserves in its biostorage facility.
Though they do not clone pets themselves, they maintain relationships with major cloning providers like ViaGen Pets and others globally. When clients later decide to move forward, PerPETuate handles the logistics of transferring the DNA to the cloning partner. The service is significantly more affordable upfront, typically under $2,000, making it accessible to a wider range of pet owners. Their long-term focus, ethical transparency, and practical pricing make PerPETuate a key entry point for anyone considering dog cloning down the line.
