Unlock lineage to drive longevity for all dogkind.
Every dog in our database brings us closer to realizing our mission of ending preventable disease in dogs. Our decision to develop a proprietary research-grade DNA genotyping platform at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine was rooted in establishing technology that enabled us to have the greatest potential to make future genetic discoveries.


Our pact to make an impact
We’ve already made genetic discoveries, and we’re just getting started.

Building a brighter future for animals with the brightest of (human) minds
Leading canine health, breed, and industry organizations collaborate with us. By bringing together some of the brightest minds, we accelerate impactful research focused on identifying genetic associations to health-related conditions.
When we set out to improve Doberman Pinscher health and longevity, we knew we needed the best DNA test available and the brightest minds in veterinary genetics.
How It Works
When you create an Embark account for your dog, in addition to sending in their swab (which unlocks their genetic data!) you’ll have the opportunity to answer survey questions online. By answering survey questions about your pup, we can combine your dog’s genetic data with millions of other data points to help fuel future scientific discoveries.

Leaders of our pack
Embark has world-leading canine geneticists on-staff to make genetic discoveries to help us reach our mission of ending preventable disease in dogs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t want my dog to participate in your research?
Your dog’s participation in research is completely optional. When you create your dog’s profile, and at any point after that, you can opt in or out of our studies.
Do you do breed-specific research studies?
Yes! In fact, many of our genetic health studies are breed-specific, in partnership with breed organizations.
