What pet cloningactually costs.
The cost of pet cloning has two parts – cell banking first, cloning later if you choose it – and it helps to see each separately before any decision is made.

The stages, and what each one costs
Most people asking about pet cloning cost are really asking about two separate payments. The first is cell banking: $5,000 in the UAE, $6,500 in the GCC, or by consultation in the USA. This pays for the biopsy coordination, laboratory culture, testing, and storage in two cities for the first year. The second payment, made later and only if you decide to proceed, is cloning itself – from $65,000 for a cat, from $85,000 for a dog, from $100,000 for a camel, and by consultation for a horse.
There is no fee to simply hold a banked line and decide nothing further. From the second year, cryostorage is $500 a year; the first year is included in the banking price.
