Ever wonder what breeds make up your beloved mixed breed pup? For years, dog owners have been left guessing, relying on vague visual cues that often lead to incorrect assumptions. Embark changes all that with the most accurate dog DNA testing kit on the market, developed in partnership with Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.
Embark screens for over 400 dog breeds using a research-grade genotyping platform that delivers 99% breed ancestry accuracy. Our genetic analysis can reveal most dogs' breed mix going back to their great-grandparents, tracing the routes that distant ancestors took around the world before they came home to you. This isn't just about satisfying curiosity—it's about understanding your dog's unique genetic makeup.
What makes Embark truly special is our relative finder feature. Over 90% of dogs tested have a close relative, like a cousin, and 12% discover a direct family member. Imagine connecting with your dog's siblings, cousins, or even discovering they have half-siblings out there! This world-first canine relative finder helps you build a complete family tree for your furry friend.
Our new personality quiz goes beyond breed identification to help you understand which instincts are rooted in your pup's breed mix—and which are uniquely their own. This insight can help you tailor training, exercise, and care to your dog's natural tendencies, strengthening your bond and improving their quality of life.
Have questions about your results? Our dedicated team of vets and geneticists is ready to help. Embark generally delivers results in 2-4 weeks, keeping you updated every step of the way. Each kit includes easy-to-use cheek swabs with clear instructions—just make sure to use them by the date printed for optimal DNA extraction.
Join thousands of dog owners who've discovered the incredible story behind their mixed breed companions. With Embark, you'll gain insights that deepen your understanding and appreciation of the unique personality that makes your dog truly special.
