Embark Breed Identification Kit - Most Accurate Dog DNA Testing Kit - 99% Breed Ancestry Accuracy for Mixed Breed Dogs - Plus Relative Finder & Family Tree

Fast results and super straightforward! 📝 Gives detailed breed info and health insights I didn’t expect. Kit is well-made, and instructions are clear. Fascinating to learn more about my pup’s ancestry—highly recommend! ✨🔬

This was my second time purchasing this product. It was really easy to use and the instructions were clear. Collecting the sample was quick, and I got updates along the way while waiting for the results. The breakdown of breeds was super detailed and included traits and health insights, which was really interesting to learn about. It was fun, informative, and totally worth it if you’re curious about your dog’s background.

I adopted my dog from a rescue shelter in 2020 with their guess that she was a mixed bassett breed dog, but I haven't been able to afford to get her tested without the help of amazon gift cards, don't judge me these tests are EXPENSIVE, so I ordered a DNA breed test kit and got a sample from my little girl, which is harder than it sounds when I didn't desensitize her to having her muzzle area handled. I like that the test came as a 'swab' test which is uninvasive to other body cavities , and just a minor discomfort for my dog, again not used to having her muzzle area handled, when swabbing her cheek pouches to gather enough DNA to get the test done. I also like that the results take a realatively short time, 2-4 weeks instead of 2-4 MONTHS. I'm definitely looking forward to finally finding out what breed mix my little rescue is!!

We did the Embark DNA test for our mixed breed and I’m honestly so glad we did. The process was simple — just a cheek swab and mail it back. Results took a few weeks, but the wait was worth it. The breakdown was incredibly detailed. It didn’t just give breed percentages — it explained traits, potential health markers, and even relatives in their database. That part was wild. We always guessed what our dog might be, and the results were completely different than we expected. It actually helped us understand certain behaviors better. It’s not cheap, but if you’re curious about your dog’s true mix or want insight into potential health risks, this feels like the most thorough option out there. Would absolutely recommend for anyone with a rescue or mixed breed.

I am so glad we had our precious 14 year-old dog tested before she passed away a few months later. I had wanted to do the test for a long time, and my friend recommended Embark because they are pretty thorough. It was very easy, and the turn around was only 2-3 weeks during the summer. They sent me emails keeping me updated during the process. We were surprised by the results, because as my brother said, "she was half Australian Cattle Dog masquerading as a Black Lab." She was 100% black until she got pretty old and looked like a small lab, but with different ears and a mottled tongue. She was adopted at 1.5 years, so we had no idea of her history. We knew she wasn't purebred Labrador, but being half Australian Cattle Dog was a surprise! It does explain some of her stubbornness. We had our other dog tested as well, and the results are a surprise but definitely accurate. I actually just purchased the breed + health test for our new puppy. This is a good value and it's easy and reliable. I'm glad it's available. Highly recommend!

UPDATE: I've upgraded the stars based on some research I did about my dog. Siberian Huskies are what is called a basal breed--One of I believe 16 ancient breeds worldwide. Evidently, all modern dogs were ultimately developed from the basal breeds. So the crazy results from Embark could be correct, but the interpretation is NOT that my dog has Australian Shepherd DNA, but that his Husky DNA is part of the base of every crazy variety of breed that showed up in this DNA test, including Australian shepherds. I left one star off because I would think there would be some way of comparing a good picture of the dog to the DNA results when they are this varied. Crazy results. Two Australian cattle dogs gave birth to a 65 lb White Siberian Husky. This is my dog, clearly of Siberian Husky heritage. I could believe that there could be something mixed in there, but it wouldn't be very much. Blows his coat, same crazy personality. I haven't found any means of communicating with these people. I suspect they got the sample mixed up. Whatever, very disappointing.

Worked very well! I did not submit any description or picture of my pup. The results were perfect, I knew she was possibly 2 of the 3 breeds they said she was. So happy I did it.

Skickade iväg testet och de tappades bort så helt kostnadsfritt skickade embark ett nytt sample åt mig. Smidigt och så snabbt som de bara kunde gå

Les races sont tellement évidentes une fois les résultats reçu 😉

Such a great and comprehensive service

We adopted a dog from a rescue organization, and trying to figure out her breed mix was driving me nuts. We were told she was potentially a german shepherd mix, but we guessed she had some snow dog and maybe akita mixed in. The swab process was simple, straightforward, and we were given lots of updates along the way (which I very much appreciated!) The included postage was enough to send the swab back from BC to the US. Her breed mix was akita, german shepherd, malamute, husky, golden retriever, and 'super mutt.' I ended up upgrading the report to include health reports to see if there were any genetic predispositions to illness (our previous rescue dog was a purebred husky and was quite ill). We found out she's genetically healthy, and the report also broke down her likely colouring, adult weight, muscling, and appetite. I'm a bit of a genetics nerd, so I found this all quite fascinating! The test isn't cheap, but I think it's great info for anyone wanting to know more about their dog. I found the results to be quite accurate - the predicted weight, muscle, and colouring were almost 100% accurate. We also found out potential close 'relatives' with others that have done breed testing on their dogs. There was also an option to send a condensed version of the report to our vet. I'm not sure if it will be of much use to them, but at the very least it rules out any genetic causes of illness in the future. Overall, I would definitely recommend this test for anyone that wants more info on their dog. If I had a purebred dog, I'd be more likely just to order a test for genetic health issues - but for our 'rescue mix,' this was fantastic!
