The Embark Breed Identification Kit completely exceeded my expectations! The process was simple and straightforward — just a quick swab of my dog’s cheek and sending it off for analysis. I was impressed by how quickly the results came back and how detailed the report was. The accuracy is incredible! The test identified my mixed-breed dog’s ancestry with 99% accuracy, providing clear breakdowns of each breed in her genetics. It even included a family tree, which was such a fun and interesting touch. The Relative Finder feature is also amazing! It connected me with other dogs that share DNA with mine, which was both surprising and really cool to see. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this kit. It’s informative, reliable, and so easy to use. If you’ve ever been curious about your dog’s breed ancestry or just want to learn more about their background, I highly recommend this kit. Worth every penny!

I have always been curious about the breeds of my fur babies. This is the 3rd time I purchased this kit. I feel it is very accurate. The firts dog I tested has a flipped curled tail. Although she was marked like a shepard and I was told she was a shepherd mix, I wasn't so sure. The test confirmed she has Akita and Chow (both curly tailed dogs) and the rest was a mix. I felt this was accurate. She always had an attitude like the Chows and Akita's. The 2nd test I did was for a dog that we were told was a hound mix as she always talks to you and her fur is like rabbit fur, so soft. Hers came back half lab and a good bit of Husky (which would explain the soft fur and the eyes she has and the way she howls and talks to you. The 3rd test we did we had a rescue that was a German Shepard. He looks fullblood but who knows. The test came back 100% German Shepherd. Embark has no information on my dogs except their name and I think it ask if male or female but not sure about that. I feel these test are very accurate and wish I would have tested my others that have already passed. I will test all future dogs. Its fun to find out their genetic background. Its easy to do as the dogs must like the flavor on the stick with cotton on the end. You just rub it in their mouths along the sides of their gums and send off for testing. Very Happy

The process was simple and the results professionally presented. Initially I resisted ordering the medical report because I felt that I could look up breed issues myself, but when I got the health/medical results the amount of detailed genetic information blew me away! I am now encouraging friends with pedigreed dogs pursue the genetic health/medical test because these results can alert them to possible future health issues in their pup! Also, knowing the composition of your mixed breed really helps you understand their behaviors!

Used this on both my dogs. One of them located another dog who they believed was a sibling. IT WAS! I remember seeing the other dog in the same litter when I adopted my dog!

Mailed my dog’s swab out on July 24th and received the results on August 12th. Found out he has a bit of a mix of another breed (90% schnauzer, 10% cocker spaniel). We always suspected he was a bit of a mix and it’s nice to find out what exactly that was. I dinged a star because the breed breakdown and potential dog relatives are literally the only information they give you without having to pay more money. Come on, this is an expensive kit, give us more freebies! You can unlock more info by paying more. Ugh. As for the kit itself - Typical easy to use DNA swab kit. I say easy, but that depends on your dog’s willingness to let you swab their mouth. I did a gum swab and it worked fine - my dog refused to let me access his cheek. They have a nice web app and send email updates on when their lab receives the sample, and the progress of the analysis.

This was SOOO MUCH FUN! We were surprised to learn that our new puppy was not a chocolate lab mix. There was no lab in him in matter of fact. I debated which one to buy just the DNA test or the one with the health and traits. I chose the DNA only because we seemed to have a very healthy puppy. There was nothing that was causing us alarm. To use: I simply swabbed my puppy's cheeks very well. Slid it in the vial. Did what it told me to do. I dropped it in the prepaid box/mailer and dropped it in the mail. Within days, Embark sent me an email that stated they received his sample. They told me it would take about a month and a half for the results. I thought that was going to be it. Wait a month and receive the results. In about a week or less, I received the first email saying they were starting the process. We got excited because we were going to find out what our puppy was. Anyone who saw him said he didn't look like a chocolate lab. We would say "well, that is what we were told but we are having his dna tested.". Another week or so, we were sent an email saying that they were moving on to the next step. I wish I saved the emails for the exact wording, but I did not. Another week and they were almost finished. One last email to tell us that their scientists were checking the results by hand. The results will be ready very shortly. The joke in the house was that we had a group of scientists working on our pup's DNA. Then yesterday, I received a text and an email stating the results were in!!! We were so excited. I have been checking the web page, it felt like every hour for the last month. Upon clicking the link, it gave us choices if we wanted to play a guessing game, watch a video or just find out. As a family we decided we wanted to play the guessing game. We knew from the information they gave that there were 4 breeds in our puppy. The first choice in the game it gave was- Doberman. We said no. He isn't Doberman. He doesn't look at all like a Doberman. We clicked false to learn he was 50% Doberman. We laughed because we didn't see it. Another breed came up. We thought definitely he had some of this in him. People were suggesting it. Nope. More laughter. Pit Bull? We have had other pit bulls, we thought at first there might be pit bull in him. 25% pit bull. More laughter and told yas! Then the surprises! Great Pyrenees? Absolutley not, we said. He doesn't have long hair or anything. He is 12% Great Pyrenees. Lastly, Australian Shepherd? I kind of thought of this because there were Australian shepherds at the place we got him and he looked similar but not the hair. Sure enough he was about 12% Australian Shepherd! No lab at all in him! We all had a very good laugh. We knew our puppy was from a certain state. Here, you can see other dogs who have had their DNA tested. It pulled up 2 other dogs that were similar to ours from the same state. Because of how close the DNA match was, they are probably immediate family. Accuracy? We started reading about the different breeds. We were familiar with the pit bull already and the coloring and his chest seem pit bullish. Doberman? The ears and height and body. Great Pyrenees? He has a back do claw that we had already researched before hand and Great Pyrenees was a breed that had them. Australian Shepherd? We believe the eyes are theirs. He has beautiful eyes. The other thing I laughed about was our pup has made a game out of dropping a ball down the stairs and fetching it. Sure enough, one of the breeds when bored will make their own games up. Dobermans are very smart. This puppy learned to open a closet door for shoes, he just pulls on the bathrobe hanging out the door every so little. 5 stars: I know this is a longer review, but I wanted to share how we thought our pup was a chocolate lab and wasn't at all. That knowing what he was at first we were like No way is he a Doberman until we started researching. We pulled up a Doberman with his ears not pinched and it looks like our pup. We can see traits of the different breeds in our pup. It is a wonderful tool to learn about the puppy. A wonderful tool to know what to expect from a breed therefore how to train. Each of the dogs (but one, I think) are job oriented dogs. We know that we have to give our dog jobs for him to be happy. We know that every breed is an active dog. We know we have to walk him and exercise him a lot to keep him healthy, strong, and well behaved. Knowing what our dog is, is a great tool!!!
