The most accurate dog DNA test
Embark's science started with Village Dogs — the free-ranging dogs whose genetics most closely resemble the original ancestors of all dogs. That foundation is why Embark identifies breed with 99% accuracy across 400+ breeds, types, and varieties, including Village Dog populations, wolves, coyotes, and dingoes that no other test accounts for.
That means:
- Clearer breed results
- Better insight into your dog's traits
- More confidence in what you're seeing
More health insights, better care
Embark screens for 270+ genetic health conditions — more than any other dog DNA test. That includes exclusive insights like Allergy Risk Scores, ALT liver enzyme baseline, and Mast Cell Tumor risk that you won't find anywhere else.
From medication sensitivities to inherited disease risk, Embark helps you and your vet make more informed decisions. That includes important insights for conditions like MDR1 drug sensitivity, IVDD, and more.
Each test helps expand what's known — and what's possible — in canine genetics.
Find your dog's family
94% of dogs tested with Embark match with at least one relative in our database. That means your dog could discover siblings, close cousins, or even littermates.
Many owners discover littermates they never knew existed. And when you get a match, you can connect directly. Each relative is ranked by shared DNA, so it's easy to see who's closest.
