New! Personalized allergy risk scores, so you can stay one step ahead of your dog's allergies.

A dog's health isn't solely a product of genetics, but of diet, environment, and lifestyle. We'll help you give your dog the best of everything. Decode breed mix, screen for health conditions, find relatives — all this and more with Embark!

For example, did you know some dogs have a genetic mutation that makes them sensitive to many commonly used drugs, including some anesthetics? Drug-sensitive dogs can experience symptoms ranging from diarrhea, lethargy, seizures — even a coma. With Embark, you'll know if your dog has drug sensitivities so you can avoid potentially dangerous medications.

What you’ll learn

How it works

  1. 1. Swab

    Gently swab the inside of your dog’s cheek pouch and under the tongue to collect saliva for at least 30 seconds.

  2. 2. Activate & mail

    Activate each kit online and send samples to our lab in their prepaid envelopes. Note: Samples remain stable for at least 6 months. However, kits expire two years after purchase, so please plan accordingly.

  3. 3. Results in 2-4 weeks

    We’ll do the rest and notify you by email when your results are ready. Log in to your account to learn all about your pup!

A better DNA test for happier dogs

Breed ID

"Our dog found her passion"

“We have been able to tailor Bandit’s training and exercise regime much better to suit her needs now that we know she is composed of primarily working breeds. Our dog found her passion in scent work and has been much happier since.”
– Loki K. Verified Buyer

"So grateful"

"One of my dogs has a hereditary issue. Embark notified me immediately before completing the rest of the tests. I took Allie to the vet, unknown health issues were fixed and she is now on preventative treatment (prescription dog food). So grateful!"
– Vicky Y. Verified Buyer
