There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It was nice to know that both of my girls were 100% what their papers said they would be.
My first girl was so behind on the growing curve for her breed. I was a little worried, but she seemed to be just a late bloomer and now at a little over 2 years. She is finally where a female for her breed should be.
The test also gives you data on any potential health issues that they might have inherited.
I was happy to see that both of my girls were clear of any issues we should keep in mind.
They also give you a list of other dogs that are closely related to your dog and notify you of any new relatives.
You can reach out to them if you would like to on their site. But till this day I have not had anyone reach out. It's fun to see their relatives and see if they have common personality traits or even resemble each other.
You can opt out of making any information visible to others, which is always nice when users have control. You can upload any papers if you choose to do so or download any information they provide from the test results if you want to share that information with your vet or others. I can see people that breed their dogs can utilize this program as well.
The turn around time seems to depend on how busy they are but from my experience, I would say two to three weeks.
Don't be surprised that your swab gets shipped to Boston and then disappears. I contacted them and they told me they now test the swabs at the California site. I guess the prepackaged shipping envelope address has not been updated yet. Hopefully that will change since that seems to add the extra week of waiting time.
Overall I am happy with the experience. If you have any questions they are also very good at responding.
Why I love it:
-The process was super simple (kit came quickly after I ordered it with a foolproof, step-by-step guide)
-I received my results quickly (within <2 weeks from shipping off the sample)
-There's SO much information about my pup on their user-friendly website!
From start to finish, Embark ensures the process is clear and streamlined. Once you receive your pup's results, they're displayed in 5 categories online: Research, Breed, Health, Trait, Relatives
Each has so much detailed information. I especially found the genetic diversity and inbreeding and "wolfiness" scores to be interesting! Another fun feature displays related dogs, based on their shared DNA with your pup. (I was excited to find my pup had several close relatives, but alas, I'm still waiting to hear back from their owners who I DM'ed. Response from dog owners not guaranteed ;)
Finally, as someone who loves dogs, I also really appreciate that Embark users can complete surveys about their pup (behavior, environment, diet, etc) to contribute to ongoing research about our furry friends.
All around, I'm so happy my pup and I could embark on this journey!
There was some weirdness in that the results said my dogs were closely related (as in sibling kind of close) to other dogs on the other side of the planet which I do not believe is possible. If this happened one or two times with one dog, sure it would be possible. But this happened multiple times with my two unrelated dogs. That is not as easy to believe.
They then told me that according to their DNA analysis my dogs final adult weight would be 71 lbs. This is obviously wrong. Their customer service provided excuses as opposed to explanations. If they made a mistake on such a simple result can I really trust any of their report? This error should have been caught before the report went out. Either they have very poor quality control or they just dont care.
