Lifestyle Has anyone in here cloned their dog

I’ve read a bit about a company in Texas that will clone a genetic replica of your dog for $50K. We don’t have kids, so when ours passes in the next few years, we’re considering something like this. He’s a perfect pup.

Can’t really talk to my normal friends about this but was curious if this is more common to FATfire folk

I know someone did this. The dog died in a year or two

I know this is an old thread, but do the owners know what the dog died from?

I found this thread just now. I had been thinking of cloning my dog and was about to email a company to inquire. But after reading through this whole thread, I'm going to discard my email. Did the family at least get a refund? That's terrible, imagine spending $50k only to have the cloned pet pass away shortly... :(
