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.”
"Explained why he grew to 75 lbs"
“The shelter told us Jack was a cocker spaniel lab mix. Embark DNA results explained why he grew to be 75 lbs .. he is actually a boxador with only 12% cocker spaniel 💚!”
