- Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2022We purchased two of these tests for our 2 XL dog breed girls at separate times.
It was nice to know that both of my girls were 100% what their papers said they would be.
My first girl was so behind on the growing curve for her breed. I was a little worried, but she seemed to be just a late bloomer and now at a little over 2 years. She is finally where a female for her breed should be.
The test also gives you data on any potential health issues that they might have inherited.
I was happy to see that both of my girls were clear of any issues we should keep in mind.
They also give you a list of other dogs that are closely related to your dog and notify you of any new relatives.
You can reach out to them if you would like to on their site. But till this day I have not had anyone reach out. It's fun to see their relatives and see if they have common personality traits or even resemble each other.
You can opt out of making any information visible to others, which is always nice when users have control. You can upload any papers if you choose to do so or download any information they provide from the test results if you want to share that information with your vet or others. I can see people that breed their dogs can utilize this program as well.
The turn around time seems to depend on how busy they are but from my experience, I would say two to three weeks.
Don't be surprised that your swab gets shipped to Boston and then disappears. I contacted them and they told me they now test the swabs at the California site. I guess the prepackaged shipping envelope address has not been updated yet. Hopefully that will change since that seems to add the extra week of waiting time.
Overall I am happy with the experience. If you have any questions they are also very good at responding.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2021LOVE Embark!!! I've been so curious to learn more about my adopted shih tzu, and the Embark kit delivered! Since shih tzu's are known for having certain health problems, I was especially interested in learning more about my pup's genetic markers for specific conditions. Every step of the way, Embark made this a fun--and informative--journey! **Definitely** recommend for any curious owners of purebred pups!!
Why I love it:
-The process was super simple (kit came quickly after I ordered it with a foolproof, step-by-step guide)
-I received my results quickly (within <2 weeks from shipping off the sample)
-There's SO much information about my pup on their user-friendly website!
From start to finish, Embark ensures the process is clear and streamlined. Once you receive your pup's results, they're displayed in 5 categories online: Research, Breed, Health, Trait, Relatives
Each has so much detailed information. I especially found the genetic diversity and inbreeding and "wolfiness" scores to be interesting! Another fun feature displays related dogs, based on their shared DNA with your pup. (I was excited to find my pup had several close relatives, but alas, I'm still waiting to hear back from their owners who I DM'ed. Response from dog owners not guaranteed ;)
Finally, as someone who loves dogs, I also really appreciate that Embark users can complete surveys about their pup (behavior, environment, diet, etc) to contribute to ongoing research about our furry friends.
All around, I'm so happy my pup and I could embark on this journey!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2023I have a purebred "chocolate" Yorkie, and chocolate is not an acceptable color according to the AKC. Her parents and grandparents have been registered for generations. She was the only puppy in her litter who wasn't born a standard color. I think she's the most beautiful puppy out of the whole bunch, and I wanted her to be registered just like her siblings. I gave her this test, and she proved to be 100% Yorkie. After that and a lot of jumping through hoops, I was able to get her registered. The test is easy to use, and I love that it also checks the dog's genetics for potential health problems.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2024Great product and shipping
- Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2024Very easy to use even on a squirmy puppy. Start to finish I got my results back in less then a month which was quicker then I expected. Health test results matched what the breeder told me based off of the parents health testing. Very satisfied with the entire process.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2024I use this on all dogs I get for a wide range of health issues they could have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic
This DNA test was simple and straightforward to do, swab the dog's cheek and off we go. The level of detail on the results was fantastic, it includes things like a Coefficient of Inbreeding (coi) and genetic traits (which determines the colour and size of your pet). I much prefer this to wisdom panel which doesn't give this additional information.
