How it works

It’s easy like 1, 2, 3...

1. Swab

Gently swab the inside of your dog’s cheek pouch and under the tongue to collect saliva for at least 30 seconds.
How it works - step 2 - activate and mail

2. Activate & mail

Activate each test online and send samples to our lab in their prepaid envelopes if you're located in the US. Note: Samples remain stable for at least 6 months. However, tests expire 2 years post-purchase, so please plan accordingly.
How it works - step 3 - results (breeder)

3. Results in 2-4 weeks

We'll notify you by email when results are ready. Take advantage of exclusive breeder tools for every dog you have tested.

    A practical tool for better breeding out comes

    Easy to use and results back in good time for placement or retaining of pups, even for an over seas user.

    This was performed for an out cross project, not sanctioned through Kennel clubs who seem to be very slow to react to issues affecting pedigree breeds while actively discouraging or discrediting such initiatives.

    One suggestion I would put forward is offer parent verification with litter testing. This would nullify the need for Kennel clubs and the problems inherent to a system that does not recognize the value of the Dog, but the promotes a 'faith' that unbroken pedigree chains carries any value to be had. That predictability is replacement for reliability.

    It would promote and foster greater response-ability for both buyers and breeders in understanding the role and use of genetics in selection for purpose, while increasing potential research fields available to Embark.

    Always awesome.

    I have spent a ton of money with Embark and I'm cool with that. 🤪 I appreciate the price, turnaround time, email and call support, and knowing exactly what I am producing. I've learned a lot about genetics, by testing entire litters.
