8/22/23: So my initial review was a 1 star (read the end of this review). Now 5 star. Yesterday they said my results would be in a week and I got them today! AND THEY WERE SPOT ON! I strongly suspected that Rudy was half Great Pyrenees and half Golden Retriever and that is exactly what came back. I gave no suggestions as to what he might be to them. Now I am going to test my other dog who I am not sure what she is. Fun!
8/21/23:I did write a previous review (which has been deleted) and gave it one star. Per the USPS it was received three days after I mailed it out. I kept getting notices to mail my swab in and I am like you have it. I do have to admit they were very responsive to my messages but I was very upset with them telling me that they never received it and that it was lost. They sent me a new swab and on the same day what was lost it was suddenly found (three weeks later) . Last check, I should have my pups results in a week. So this is just to say, for me customer service responded quickly to my messages. I will update again after the results come in.
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!!!

I ended up upgrading the report to include health reports to see if there were any genetic predispositions to illness (our previous rescue dog was a purebred husky and was quite ill). We found out she's genetically healthy, and the report also broke down her likely colouring, adult weight, muscling, and appetite. I'm a bit of a genetics nerd, so I found this all quite fascinating! The test isn't cheap, but I think it's great info for anyone wanting to know more about their dog. I found the results to be quite accurate - the predicted weight, muscle, and colouring were almost 100% accurate. We also found out potential close 'relatives' with others that have done breed testing on their dogs.
There was also an option to send a condensed version of the report to our vet. I'm not sure if it will be of much use to them, but at the very least it rules out any genetic causes of illness in the future. Overall, I would definitely recommend this test for anyone that wants more info on their dog. If I had a purebred dog, I'd be more likely just to order a test for genetic health issues - but for our 'rescue mix,' this was fantastic!
Regarding shipping with Amazon I did not experience any issues product came on time product was not out of date everything was smooth.
After only 3 weeks from mailing the sample, I was surprised to learn he was in fact a Patterdale Terrier with zero Chihuahua! And better yet, he has many familial matches who also have DNA uploaded with Embark!
The sample was fairly easy to take, my pup was not impressed, but even with his struggling, I was able to get the sample I needed.
The mailing process was also easy, when you order from Amazon in Canada, they provide a shipping envelope, with 5 Canadian stamps (I choose to track so paid an addition $3.00 for that).
Embark also sends e-mails every step of the way. When they receive the test, when they extract the DNA., when they begin the testing and finally the results!
5 stars I would 100% recommend Embark! I am very impressed with the entire process and the details provided.
