You’ve heard of the many DNA kits available for humans, right? Well, now there is a similar process for dogs. Who’s My Mutter is a revolutionary app created by a mother and daughter team from St. Louis, Laura and Millie Moulder. The software enables pet owners to learn more about the breed of their dogs through in-app features like real-time facial recognition, in-depth breed analysis and images. In addition to educating owners on their pets’ origins, proper nutrition and more, Who’s My Mutter connects shelters with those seeking adoptable pets. Future plans include a feline-friendly version and the ability to locate lost pets.
