“This year, we decided that in lieu of toys and treats, the best Christmas gift for our dog would be an Embark DNA test. He's young (just turned 3), but we wanted to prepare ourselves for his later years for any conditions that were likely to show up on his test. We figured the best gift we could give him is a long healthy life. :)”

“Best Christmas gift ever!!”
“Best Christmas gift ever!!”
“It was so much fun finding out his breeds. Everything makes so much sense now ! I can now understand where some of his behaviors come from. It was an a-ha moment for the trainers at doggie daycare, too. Thank you for providing such an amazing service!”

“Embark confirmed that they were in fact siblings and majority Chihuahua but after that each had their own unique breeds mixed in. It was a great experience finding out exactly what my boys are made of. The Rat Terrier piece answered a lot of questions regarding why they're always digging up my backyard.”
– Terri W.
