Pet cloning might sound like science fiction — but it’s already happening. The real question for pet owners is whether cloning can bring back the same companion.

We’re joined by Dr Andrew Cornwell to break down what cloning actually does (and what it doesn’t).

The short answer: DNA can be replicated — personality can’t.

We cover:
• Why a cloned pet may look identical but behave differently
• The powerful role of environment and early life experience
• Common misconceptions about “bringing a pet back”
• And the emotional realities owners need to consider

At its core, cloning creates a new animal with a shared genetic blueprint — not the same pet returned.
