TL;DR: Save 50 bucks on Embark's Breed + Health DNA Kit through Dec. 31.


Embark’s Breed + Health DNA Kit is the doggie DNA test that gives you the lowdown on your pup’s breed lineage, health, and helps you find potential canine relatives. And through the end of the year, you can get your paws on a kit for $149 with code HOWLDAY50.

The Embark DNA Kit wins best in show for two reasons. One: Its research-grade genotyping platform was developed with Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and offers the most accurate breed breakdown on the market. In addition to the science, Embark is the only doggie DNA test that uses its vast database to help owners find and digitally connect with their pets’ litter brothers and long-lost relatives. Let the pooch family reunions commence!

Canine overview

Think of the Embark Breed + Health Kit as a nice report to show your vet for preventative health care. In addition to screening your pet’s DNA for nearly 300 million genes and over 350 breeds, Embark tests for over 190 health conditions — more than any other canine DNA test — and lets you know if your pooch is predisposed to any adult-onset canine diseases. Your dog’s health report comes as an easy-to-understand PDF, which you can share with your vet to help them get ahead of things.

Easy testing

Embark’s test works pretty much the same way that human DNA tests work: The kit is mailed to you, you swab the inside of your dog's cheek, and send it back in the provided packaging. You should get results in your inbox in three to five weeks.

Doggy family tree

In addition to your pet’s health, what if your mystery mutt has a little coyote in her? What if your beloved Meatball ends up with connections to the German shepherd sniffing around Pennsylvania Avenue? Stranger things have happened indeed. Roll with it.
