  • Reliable
Reliable test results. We had an idea what our pups are but wasn't 100% certain and this test verified it we knew they were part husky and it says they're 30% husky so I believe it's accurate. I didn't add any extra information or pictures to my dogs profile because I wanted to see if they relied solely on the dna test to tell me her breed. She was about 2 months old so this test should work for any age. They updated me through email as they processed her sample and I got my results through email. They gave information on all her breeds they listed. Also it didn't take hardly as long as expected. I think it took about 2 weeks from the day I shipped her sample. It was easy to do the test and very easy to ship also. I have no complaints what so ever. I'd buy another one. ... show more

  • Believable results...
Easy to use and the packaging was good. I'm sharing the results so you can make a decision on accuracy. Are the results believable to you after seeing a couple pics? I knew my dog probably had some Chihuahua but not almost 50%. My other guesses where Jack Russell, Shi Tzu and Yorkie. She is about 12 pounds and 8 inches tall. My dog is also extremely smart. I taught her to sit, down, roll over, and high 5 in about 5 minutes. Now all I have to do is show her the treat and she does all her tricks without asking. It's pretty cute. So the Poodle makes sense. I hope this helps in your decision to buy or not to buy! I also have to say this was extremely fun! ... show more

  • SO MUCH FUN! So much useful information. So surprising to learn what our pup is!
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!!! ... show more

  • Great test with great results
We received this test and immediately went to work. Instructions are easy to follow, getting the dog to hold a swab in his mouth for 60 seconds was challenging to say the least. We packaged it up and sent it back. The communication was excellent, they let us know every step of the way what they were doing then sent us the results. We weee actually very surprised by the results but when looking up the top two breeds it looks identical to our dog, it’s defintiely what he is. The test also linked some relatives of his. Very cool!ny only complaint would be the amount of time it has to stay in his mouth ... show more

  • So worth the money--and so fun!
We rescued this puppy as my husband's new farm/companion dog in April--supposedly a Shetland Sheepdog/Australian Shepherd mix. We have Shelties, and were surprised how different she is. She's very strong-willed and high octane energy! He named her Zippy in honor of her speed as she runs in circles or flies across the lawn and pastures. We originally thought she had been shaved, although by August it's pretty clear she's actually short-haired. For Father's Day I bought this DNA kit for my husband, and we were astonished to find out that Zippy has neither Sheltie nor Aussie in her! She's 50% Siberian Husky, 20% Australian Cattle dog, 13% Great Pyrennees (we haven't seen that yet!), 8% Labrador Retriever and the rest is "Super Mutt." This explains so much about Zippy's non-stop high energy, desire to be the alpha dog, love of playing in water and high drive to chase our cattle (a NO-NO!) We're so glad we know so we can give her the training and "job" she needs to be happy. ... show more

  • Embark is great
Love this product and accurate results (I've done 2 different DNA tests on my dog, both have come out nearly the same. I like embark because it also gives you access to health information for your pet. I also got to connect with someone that has an immediate family member to my dog!

  • Great!
This was great, I love the updates received on the progress of our dog’s DNA. From shipping tracking and progress of the testing. The results were surprising. Would recommend getting your dog DNA tested. The website is very descriptive of each breed results. So I also feel like I learned a lot.
