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!!!

Yup, I’m that person who spent a hundred bucks to get her dog’s DNA for absolutely no purpose but intrigue! My adopted boy looked full-blooded but I knew he wasn’t, and the girl who initially rescued him through the had the dreaded hound dog in him. (I live in a rural area. If you’ve ever been kept up at night by baying hounds, you know what I mean.) I was curious and bit the bullet and ordered the Embark test. I wasn’t sure it would even be valid, as someone the swab ended up with more treats on it than slobber even though I waited more than the suggested time to swab. Love the website and its updates! Within three weeks I had his results—and, thankfully, no hound! I’d definitely do it again if I ever adopted another dog! It was easy and seems valid based on the results.

I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have collected my stray dog Harry’s DNA before he passed. We learned exactly why Harry was a 10 lb beast and lived so long . I was surprised to learn he had some German shepherd in his dna , being he was only 10 lbs. Harry was with us 17 years… we found him wondering the countryside 17 years ago , vet said he was 1-2 at that time. He will be dearly missed 😢. We also learned he has a brother about an hour away that was adopted from the humane society, so I believe they were dropped off in the country as puppies. Harry was a survivor.

I bought this to include in a basket of dog goodies for a tricky tray. I’ve used embark on two of my dogs and the results seemed to be accurate. I’ve bought the one with the health testing as well and found it to be of no use- none of my dogs serious issues were mentioned. This particular kit was for me perfect because it gave me exactly what I wanted: breed analysis and connecting to relatives. It connected me to two full siblings for one of my dogs. I was able to determine his age after finding these two relatives. The age test offered by embark was also a disappointment for me as the results were too broad to determine an exact age - it gave a broad range, something like +/- 2 years.

For my dogs 13th birthday I decided I wanted to know her breed. I've always known Labrador but suspected she had some German shepherd in her and sure enough this kit told me I was right!! I got the results back even faster than I expected and really loved that it shows her relatives and where they are. And just like Ancestry DNA for humans, it updates you when a new relative pops up!

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.

Had I waited literally 2 days, I would have paid $10 less. (Yet another prime days deal) so thats a little frustrating. $10 is $10.... and when buying several kits, adds up! I've used embark and wisdom panel and honestly prefer embark. They keep you informed every step of the way. From USPS getting your package to they are testing and then the results. I appreciate the emails when finding new relatives. Wisdom panel is quicker in terms of results but they don't bother to notify you on relatives or any updates. Going forward I'll stick with this company but I'm going to wait until prices drop a bit before testing my new foster.
