Better informed
"We’re so thrilled to finally have another piece of our dog Miso’s life mystery solved. When we adopted Miso in September of 2020, we were told she could be anywhere from 1.5 to 5 years old. With Embark’s age test, we were able to narrow that window down significantly. In learning about her age, we’re better informed to provide her the best care and life possible!"
Miso's estimated age: 4 years, 1 month

Cheers to healthspan
"We had estimated Willow's age to be ten years and eight months—her body says she's a little younger and her mind and attitude agree. We may not be able to turn back the clock, but maybe we can slow it down with a little help from diet, fitness, enrichment, and integrative care. Cheers to healthspan, not just lifespan."
Willow’s estimated age: 9 years, 11 months
