Can Pets Be Cloned After They Get Old?

For example, we have a case of the movie star dog Juice, who appeared in the movie "Breakup Buddies". Its clone and the original are basically identical. It is worth mentioning that Juice, unlike ordinary pet dogs, has a six-toed foot, and the clone of Juice also completely replicates this characteristic.

Yes, cloning a pet does not discriminate by age. The difference between young and elderly dogs lies in the situation of cell lineage, and the successful cell lineage is the key to cloning. Many studies have shown that the younger the animal, the better its cell state and the stronger its proliferative capacity. Therefore, young dogs have a higher success rate of cell lineage than elderly dogs. As long as the cell lineage is successful, cloning is possible for both elderly and young dogs.

The tissue of a healthy pet is maintained by the organism itself, and the separated cell state is better. After death, the state of pet skin tissue relies entirely on the external environment, which may make it impossible to separate living cells, thus leading to cloning failure.

However, we often encounter clients who want to clone their pets that have suddenly passed away. In such cases, it is necessary to promptly preserve the pet's body at low temperature, waiting for technicians to collect samples. If the body is small, it can be wrapped in a wet towel and placed in the refrigerator's freshness layer, with temperatures around 0-4 degrees Celsius; if it is not possible to preserve in the refrigerator, some ice cubes can be made and placed together with the pet's body, regularly adding ice cubes can achieve the preservation effect as in the refrigerator; cloning has a higher success rate if the sample is taken within 1 week of the pet's death, and the longest is within 2 weeks after death, but the success rate of cloning will decrease.
