The kit was my second time using Embark. It was so easy to use, and the instructions were impossible to screw up. I have 2 rescue dogs, and finding out what they are made up of was so interesting & fun! Embark is so thorough & accurate. Highly recommend!!

Super disappointed in the “results” for my dog. Both parents were dumped at the dump, and results came back 65% shepherd, 35% pit. There’s no way that’s all she is. What a waste of money. Do not recommend.

Hello - This was a fantastic experience! My dog Ruby met her brother Hunter. We had a puppy playdate in San Francisco and they are so sweet together. We are going to try to meet their mother who lives in Portland, Oregon. There is another sister who matched, but hasn't responded to our texts on Embark. Thank you so much for bringing this family closer together! Ruby had not seen her brother since they were three months old, and I can't wait to meet her mom!

The process is easy and straightforward, and we discovered exactly what our “mutt” is made of! A fun discovery.

I would give them a higher star I’m not sure about the third thing on my dog. I actually I’m gonna go to another company and see what they say but the reason I’m not giving them a higher star is they email way too much it’s absolutely absurd. How many emails I’ve gotten from them

I was disappointed. When I used Embark for my dog’s dna 2 years ago, I received so much more information on my dog, similar breed matches in my area with photos.

Breed Reveal

Kim S.

I have a rescue doggo and there were breeds that I was sure about and some that I suspected and wanted to confirm. I loved the breed reveal video that they send you! I also like that it’s all shareable, so that I could share my excitement with family, friends, and the other fine folks that rescued from the same litter as Lux.

Questions

1 - 10 of 13 Questions
Sort by: Newest Answers

can this test work on Bully Pit Bulls

  1. Yes it worked on ours. She was only about 9 weeks old when we did it and it was what we thought and the Bully was 46.8 % she was a rescue and was told she was bully. 



Does this test tell me if my French Bulldog is purebred ?

  1. Embark should not be used to determine purebred status. Purebred status is defined by a breed registry alone. Our algorithms are designed to assign ancestry based on a dog’s genetic similarity to our reference database of purebred dogs representing over 350 breeds, landraces, and populations. But, we can confidently rule out other breed ancestry within three generations.



How old does the dog have to be to take the test? I have an 11 week old puppy. 

  1. 15 years old



I think my rescue is a Basset Hauve de Bretagne. Will the test reveal a French breed?

  1. see company website: https://shop.embarkvet.com/products/breed-ancestry



I want to test both my dogs. They came in together to the shelter and they said they were brothers. Will it show if they are directly related?

  1. Yes. Only Embark offers the ability to find your dog’s relatives. Embark's test will tell you how much DNA your dog shares with other Embark dogs in our database, and will offer you the ability to connect directly with them.



Does this test show the dogs age?

  1. From prior answers they said it doesn’t show the age of the dog. Although it would be a great feature being a lot of people adopt such as myself and was quoted from 3 different vets between the age of 4 and 7. 



can you determine breed with a sample of her hair?

  1. No, Embark uses a saliva sample. At this time, we're not able to use a hair sample for DNA analysis.



Does the test indicate if there is a MDR1 mutation gene?

  1. No, for an MDR1 test, you'll need to purchase the Breed & Health Kit. This kit only looks at breed ancestry and your pup's family tree.



Hello ,  I recently rescued a mix breed dog from Mexico. Will the test work on him ? 

  1. Yes, Embark screens for over 350 breeds, types and varieties, including village dogs.



My dog is currently on heartworm treatment and meds will this effect the results

  1. The medication should not interfere with the analysis. If there is any issue with your swab for any reason, we'll let you know and send you a free replacement.
