Breed breakdown and confirmation. Ancestry and geographic origin. World’s first canine relative finder.
Embark tests for over 400 breeds, types, and varieties. We sniff out more breeds than any other DNA test. Our genetic analysis can reveal most dogs’ breed mix going back to their great-grandparents.
There’s more: with the information embedded in your dog’s DNA, we can identify the routes that distant ancestors took around the world before they came home to you. We’ll tell you how much DNA your dog shares with others in our database and give you the option to connect with them. Did you know that 94% of dogs tested with Embark have at least one dog in our database as genetically related as human first cousins? Embark dogs have reunited with their parents, siblings, and offspring!
Instructions:
1. Activate the test by making an Embark account and using the EM code from the box.
2. No food for 30 min prior to swabbing.
3. Swab the inside of the dog’s cheek for 30-60 seconds. Protip: You can dangle a treat if you’re having a hard time getting enough saliva for the sample.
4. Unscrew the cap, insert the swab in the tube and mix with the solution for 10 seconds.
5. Use the prepaid mailer to send the swab back to our lab.
6. Wait for 2-4 weeks for results.
We’re finding shelters and rescues are simply paying too much for vaccines.
Tell us about your organization and the dog and cat vaccines you use the most. We’ll show you how to save up to 65% so you can protect pets for less.
