I dont think its okay okay for you to clone pets because cloning gives less sheltered pets a home, causes side effects, and their behavior could be different.

Cloning prevents sheltered pets from having a home. There are around 7.6 million companion animals living in shelters( source:APPA).So as you can see there are enough animals for you to just replace that pet with a new one instead of trying to clone it. But to be more precise there are 3.9 million dogs and 1.4 million cats

    Cloning is a cell, cell product, or organism that is genetically identical to the unit or individual it is derived from. During the process of cloning, a piece of DNA is cut from its source with a restriction enzyme. Then, the DNA is put into a vector ( a DNA molecule used to transport genetic material into another cell). The vector is introduced to a host cell by the process called transformation, then the host cell copies the vector DNA with the original DNA; creating copies of the inserted DNA. After the DNA is done copying, it is then removed from the host cell and purified cell.…

This application of cloning does not relate to dogs only, but to all animals which can be considered to be pets. Many who have mourned the loss of a pet have ‘brought it back to life’ through reproductive cloning.

When we think of de-extinction or resurrection, we think that scientists are actually going to bring back an extinct animal not cloning it.…
