The dog DNA test breeders trust
"A great tool"
"I use Embark to test all my potential breeding dogs. It is a great tool to make the right breeding decisions. I encourage other breeders to use Embark - the more we know about our dog's health, the better breeding decisions we can make to improve our breed."
"Making me a better breeder"
"Embark has been a crucial component in making me a better breeder. As a breeder of Australian Shepherds, there are many genetic health issues and color/trait genetics to consider before pairing two parents together. Having this knowledge can help provide a healthy puppy to an anxiously awaiting family and change their whole life!"

- Judi B.Verified BuyerReviewingEmbark for Breeders Dog DNA TestI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoThe BEST!!
Thank you sooo much for what you do, how you do it AND how you present the findings!! From the business angle, I have found Embark to be professional, thorough, honest, easy to do business with & offering exceptional custome service! As an owner & breeder, I treasure the volume of (RELIABLE !) information I get from Embark and integrate it into my overall puppy evaluations. But - equally as important - is the amount of personalized data that I then get to send home with every puppy, whether a family pet or, also, a show/breeding prospect. And THAT makes us ALL look good!! Thank you

As a serious breeder who relies on accurate, breeder-level genetic information, I was very disappointed with my experience using Embark for Breeders.
I paid for two test kits, and they never arrived. After waiting and following up multiple times, it took two full weeks just to get my money refunded. Then, ironically, a week after the refund, the kits suddenly showed up anyway. The entire process felt disorganized and poorly managed.
Beyond the shipping issues, the overall service did not meet expectations. Turnaround time was slow, communication was minimal, and updates were vague. For the price, I expected much better tracking, customer service, and accountability.
EVEmbark Vet2 weeks agoWe're sorry for the shipping delays and communication issues you experienced, Danny. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially as a breeder who depends on timely and reliable service.
