I think it is worth it. Everyone has their own budgets so I dont factor in price in my rating. I was able to get this when on mega sale for $139.00 for the DNA & Health option. Fun process, loaded with info. Worth it. We recently adopted what I was expecting to be a Lab & Mountain Curr mix. Her photos appeared that way, and she looked to be a bigger puppy with expected adult weight of 60 lbs. I am used to big dogs(80-110lbs), so when my soul mate beloved girl English lab passed away recently at just 7 years old, I set out to look to adopt a dog for her surviving brother (another English lab). Saw a listing for an 11 weeks old "Lab Mountain Curr mix", her expression and details caught my interest and so I started the adoption process. She was in the south (rescue grabbed her from a kill shelter), I am in the north, they provide transport. Took a chance on sight unseen. 5 weeks later, she arrived. Basically we were catfished. She is actually 9-10 months old, and her pics were recent. So what I thought was a 30 lb 11 week old was actually a 28 lb 9 month old. That makes her a small/ish dog, and that makes her nearly full grown! SO, my 110 lb dog has a new 30 lb small dog. Our life and yard is set up for big dogs, not small. Ah well. We are adjusting. My boy is thrilled to have a friend. Which brings us to, well what is she then? Labs tend to be larger to BIG, and Currs are medium to large with similar large weight ranges. What is this weird little dog? I sniffed around various DNA test brands. I ultimately went with Embark (love the name) because of the tie to Cornell University (in my neck of the woods). My vet scoffs at these tests, but for me I figure it is simply information. I learn something or I dont. I was basically curious, and I also wanted an idea what to look for in terms of play style, training, motivation, etc. I KNOW labs (and to lesser but sizable degree, Currs-- hence the perfect match up for me), but I dont know other breeds. I am not set up to have a dog that needs to herd sheep, nor do I have an agility course. I want to know what the propensity is for the breeds she may be, so I can tailor my style to what she may need. I want her to blossom. Her personality description seemed like a good fit, but since we were basically catfished on some info, who knows what else was left to discover? Hence, DNA test. Process was simple. Kit arrived very quickly. Just swab mouth with included tools, stick in tube, put in mailer (postage included), and mail it. They will contact you when kit has been picked up in mail, will contact when arrived. Will likely keep you informed of where they are at in the process and how long it will take. It feels more personal and professional. I got an early email saying they found a health red flag (potential back/neck disc issue). Then shortly after I got the full DNA & health results. There is a TON of information, down to nitty gritty details for the science nerds. Also super easy graphics for those less inclined for data. This info can also be shared easily, including info can be sent to your vet if you want. Nothing labrador related came up in results. She is basically a Super Mutt, not surprising. I was hoping for a little more standout on one breed, but the breeds that were sussed out are still small fractions. So 51% mega mutt (at least Mountain Curr is part of that), but for the 49%, that broke down into Beagle (12%), Great Pyrenese (10%---hilarious at her small size, but remember genotype differs from phenotype, AND her expect 40 lb weight means that she has big dog lineage). Then smaller % of boxer, golden retriever, german shepard, eskimo & collie. Oddly, I can kind of see it. Disappointed not to have lab in her. I know rescues always put "lab mix", but I really did expect it given her "angle wing" at her "shoulders". There are link to each breed so you can quicky and easily learn about each listed as part of genetic profile. Her expected adult weight is 40 lbs, which I concur with. I hope she gets bigger anyway. Main thing is that she is sweet. Doesn't have that deep intelligence that my English Labs have nor the deep soulful eyes, but I knew I was getting a mixed bag. It is an adjustment. Still learning about her, but now I have a little more framework to operate within. What I like is that this Embark info doesnt stop here. They have a robust website loaded with info, and you can share pics and videos, take quizzes, dive into resources specific to your doggo and dogs in general. If there are any dogs that are close in relationship to yours then you can make contact as they are likely related. Neat stuff. I hope to find some relatives. So please be sure to fill out as much info as you can, add some pics, and maybe you too will be able to connect with family members. Even if later down the line someone decided to do DNA kit with their dog, it they are a genetic match you will be able to find out. If you are skeptical and have the extra money, you could wait to shop a sale to get another one, or from another brand to compare. Though if I did that, Id probably get this brand again for true fidelity of results. ... show more

    • Fascinating info and fast results

I ordered this DNA test after adopting what I would have sworn was a golden retriever mix a couple of months ago. Getting the sample was simple enough. Just a mouth swab and the most difficult part was convincing my dog to not chew it. I mailed the sample in and it was 11 days from dropping it in the mail to getting my results. Turns out she has no golden retriever in her at all and is mostly Great Pyrenees. She also has an increased risk of adverse drug reactions according to her genetics so that’s good info to know and pass along to her vet. Well worth the purchase. ... show more

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
We got two of these kits for our dogs, as they are both rescues and mixed breeds. We received the test kits rather quickly. Once we performed the swabs and sent the kits back, we got updates via email on the progress. We were provided with not only the test results, but customized videos for each pet revealing the results. You will get insight to their ancestry, traits, breed and genetic health results. It's awesome to receive notifications if your furry one has a new relative. You are also provided with care resources and recommendations. There is an option to send your results to the vet too! Embark has great customer service and these kits are a great idea if you want to be familiar with your pet's genetic background. The company does offer other testing (f.e. age testing) but this one in particular encompassed a lot and told a story for each of our dogs. Highly recommend giving it a try. Worth every penny. ... show more

    • Very professional and friendly company

We just adopted a small puppy from the humane society, she was only 15 pounds when we got her, but she had a enormous feet and a big frame. My mom is elderly and not steady on her feet and and was afraid that the dog might be a pitbull as she had a terrible experience adopting a dog years ago that turned out to be an absolutely Marmaduke size pitbull that bit our neighbors kid in the face and my 6’3 dad on the neck bad bleeding deep bite- the dog was 120 lbs of pure muscle,out of control and so aggressive. She was untrainable. We had a specialist come from the nearby university who specialized in animal behavior, come and assess the dog because we wanted what was best for the dog. We didn’t want to have a animal that was some thing that could get us in the legal trouble, and we wanted to have a nice dog in our home. The animal behaviorist said she’d never seen such a monster of a dog she said, it’s almost like this dog has been bred to be huge like to fight like a fighting dog which could be because I found the dog in a very bad neighborhood in Chicago, she was just am extremely young puppy sitting on the sidewalk. The behaviorist took the dog and kept her for a week and called us, and said this dog is absolutely untrainable, is very aggressive, cannot focus or listen - she’s a liability. Then the dog broke away and bit the neighbor kid in the face, and it was either put the dog down or be sued . It was a bad unfortunate situation My mom was very afraid of this new dog and she feared that this new dog might turn out to be a pittbull and she might have a repeated experience that she had with the other dog because they looked similar. So she wanted to have a test done right away because she was afraid that this dog would grow into a biting aggressive monster. Well it turns out the dog is a boxer and Staffordshire terrier, as well as an Australian sheepdog and cattle dog and she’s very smart and very sweet and we love her very much, even though she is very large. I got the kit that offered the background on Health to, and it turns out that she’s got a little something small where her liver enzymes might read differently from other dogs but other than that she’s very healthy and we know now that she’s large, but she but she won’t grow into a monster size aggressive pitbull don’t get me wrong. I love pittbulls, but they have to be trained properly and when you have someone who’s elderly and not great on their feet last thing they can do is train 85 pound strong young pitbull with now know that she is not a pitbull we are relieved. The whole experience is really easy they made it so you got the kit you just had to put the little sponge tipped wand in the dogs mouth and then send it in the us mail . When you set up the and register your account with them they send you an email letting you know that they got the DNA sample then they let you know when they’re working on it then they let you know that they’re still working on it and it’s a different part of their lab and then they send the results and a ton of information about the dog breed and their health for my particular breed mix as well as other dogs so you have one that’s more specific to you and then one that’s more specific specific to dogs that aren’t yours but it’s info in general about dogs but so you have a resource library to look up dog ailments .They also have other helpful links, and tidbits about your particular mix of dog and other resources and information, it’s very nice. I thought it was a really nice experience. I think I’m gonna get the one for the cats. It’s a different company but it’s interesting to know what your pets are. ... show more
