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

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.

"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!"

    We ordered the test kit

    We ordered the test kit the week before we had to say goodbye to our beloved 14 year old Raina, and knew we wouldn't get the results back in time, but we did still get the results back early (a few weeks later), coincidentally on the anniversary of the day I found her at the shelter which was an unplanned but very welcome surprise and a great way to celebrate her life.

    The results themselves were very unexpected, but after the initial shock wore off, they make sense and seem feasible given the popular breeds in the city she was adopted from.

    The results were quite a

    The results were quite a surprise but it explained a lot about my rescue dog. I was told he was an Aussie and there’s not a trace of Aussie in him. Anyway, I’m happy with the report.

    I was surprised by some

    I was surprised by some of the breeds that my dog was and ones that weren't there based on what I was told by the person who had mom and dad.
