Embark Breed & Ancestry Identification, Trait & Health Detection Dog DNA Test Kit

I just got my dog DNA results back, and at first I was confused, so I emailed Embark, and just got off the phone with one of their reps who helped walk me through the entire report. It was really helpful. Now I understand the report much better and can see that it's very comprehensive. Some of the test results like maternal and paternal Haplotypes are just interesting, and there are some other results particularly the health ones that are truly meaningful. It's a big relief to know that my dog is clear of all the 167 diseases they tested for.

Love the results for the 170 or so genetic defect marker or gene testing. Interesting on the size, appearance, health and temperament testing. Absolutely worthless for testing breed - we submitted two verified unrelated purebred registered dogs, well documented history and phenotype, and got that one was a two breed mix and the other a supermutt - and the results are public so be sure to immediately change your privacy settings. They print the "alleged" breed all over the genetic test results so if you show it to anyone they think your dog is a mixed breed. They dont think that is a problem.

This is by far the best tool for a dog owner who wants to understand their canine companion - more. The health results and breed results etc are thorough. We were surprised by our dog's results. Very interesting. Highly recommend.

This was so informative and great, it does take a bit longer to get back but so worth the wait. The health screening that it give you is huge, even if you know the breed of your dog, the health screening is invaluable. I have a rescue and was told his mom was full chow and they had know idea on the father, everyone guessed Golden. He came back as 43.2% chow and 10% lab, 10% Akita and 10% GSD, there is Rotweiller, Brittany and Cocker Spaniel to make up the difference! Never would of guessed!

I purchased 6 kits for my 6 dogs. I do not yet have all the results but I am very impressed by the frequent follow-up and detailed communication about the testing procedure and potential results. I previously used another test company, which was good, but it didn’t provide the significant information provided by Cornell. Having also been a client many years ago at their vet campus in NY (I used to drive 200 miles to bring my dogs there) I can confirm the same level of excellence and service I experienced in person is evident with Embark via email. I highly recommend this test and I look forward to receiving all my dogs’ results.

It's pricey but I think it was worth for my puppy. we were glad to find out our puppy was free from 180 some genetic diseases and his family tree was very interesting. Our result came in one month considering it was a holiday season I am very satisfied with the lead time.

I used another DNA test in the past and liked this one much better. We adopted our Molly from a shelter and I was curious what her breed mix was. The results are very interesting and very in-depth it seems. Very easy to activate the kit and use the swap. I would use this test again

This product is awesome but if your just wanting to know your dogs breed then I recommend ‘Wisdom Panel’ instead. ‘Wisdom Panel’ is half the price. This product is meant more for breeders. Either way a great product and highly recommend!

Ok so looking at this product it is the best test of it's kind on the market currently. It distinguishes between bully breeds more then any other test does. Since we suspected our girl was a bully mix we chose this test. Got the test the day after I ordered it. Got my results about 3 weeks later. Come to find out our girl is 100% American pitbull terrier! Never did I expect that coming from the place she was born. Anyhow. I would hands down recommend this test to anyone. Kept me in the loop the whole time and chewy delivered super fast. I placed my order the night before it arrived. Highly recommend!

If you are curious about your dog's true breeds, this is the test!!! I rescued my pup at 8 weeks of age and was told she was german shepherd/lab. She looks german shepherd lab to me! However, many commented that she did not look like a german shepherd. I got many compliments on my "boxer". At 6 months of age, she hit 65 lbs!!! So, I knew there had to be some other breeds in there and Embark got it! If you are debating between this and Wisdom Panel, I would suggest this one as I am on a facebook page where people have done both but Embark is usually better and is more detailed. Do you seen the hidden breeds? Boxer was not on the list!
