Embark's results in action

How did a simple cheek swab give a dog owner invaluable health and breed insights... and unite a family?

Can you guess Diego's breed mix?

A heads up on Diego's health

Jane discovered that Diego had inherited a genetic health condition that meant it was very likely he would become blind as he got older.

Progressive Retinal Atrophy, PCRD

PRA is a retinal disease that causes progressive, non-painful vision loss. This type of PRA leads to difficulty seeing at nighttime, before eventually affecting daytime vision as well.

218 variants not detected

Embark tests for 270+ health conditions

A veterinarian's recommendation

While there’s no cure for Diego’s condition, a vet suggested that a companion dog could help him through it. So they adopted Dixie. But when she saw Dixie’s Embark results, Jane found the biggest surprise yet…

A long-lost sister!

Embark’s Relative Finder revealed that Diego and Dixie are actually full siblings! Though they may be from different litters, Diego and Dixie have the same mom and dad.

A better DNA test for happier dogs

"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!"

    Easy!

    I really enjoy doing DNA tests on my newly adopted rescue dogs. This one was better than Wisdom Panel by far.

    Highly recommended

    This is the second time we did a DNA test on one of our babies. I had a great experience the first time and I had a great expedience again! All my life I’ve adopted my dogs and always wondered what breeds they were. Now that I have dogs of my own Ive been so interested in DNA test them. It’s so fascinating to know what different breeds they are and their personalities.
