We toke the DNA for fun and the result was a mix of four breeds. Three of the breeds did I more or less expect but the seven percent Rottweiler was a surprise, but we can absolutely see it in her body shape.

They did not clearly say that international shipping was not free to return the kit. They DO NOT provide a return label if you live outside of the US as they only provide a USPS label. If you don’t live in the us plan another expense on top of that already expensive kit.

I called this company and told them I have a German Shepherd mix dog I know has a recent ancestor that was 85% pure Timber Wolf and just want to know what percentage Timber Wolf is in his DNA. I asked if it can identify to me how much TIMBER WOLF is in him. I told them I want the percentage of Timber wolf genes are specifically identified and the CS I spoke to guaranteed me they can would identify that information as Timber Wolf DNA. This is the result they gave me! Timber Mixed Breed 69.1% German Shepherd Dog 20.1% Siberian Husky 10.8% Supermutt EMBARK SUPERMUTT ANALYSIS What's in that Supermutt? There may be small amounts of DNA from these distant ancestors: • Collie • Belgian Sheepdog • Alaskan Malamute I know for a fact since this dog came from my family’s breeding over years that there is no collie, Belgian Sheepdog, or Alaskan Malamute in his line and they didn’t identify any of his make up as Timber Wolf. One look at him and you can tell he has Timberwolf in his background. So I complained and asked for a refund multiple times and never got any response. Not even an explanation. Obviously they lied to me just to get me to spend my money. I don’t even care if some or any of the results are accurate, they lied when they told me the test would definitely identify presence of Timberwolf DNA. I made it very clear that was all I was interested in and they lied. I wish I had read these actual customer reviews before getting played. They obviously are charlatans peddling test information that most people can never verify. All they care about is collecting an exhorbinant fee no matter what promise they need to give. Given what they did to me how or why would you care to trust anything they say?

Awful customer service - results were inaccurate. Got a second test which came back completely different yet they refused to refund me for the first because it was ‘scientifically sound’ work. Use Wisdom panel - cheaper & more accurate in my experience.

The biggest waste of $109. I feel like I got robbed. I assume a DNA test will tell what combinations of what breeds my American bully has a mix of and which are higher than others. Nope. 100% American bully is all they say. And I've seen the other 100% American bullys and they don't look the part mostly. What a scam. I hope there is a class action I can join soon.

Really not worth the money if you have any sort of rescue dog from the streets. This is better for testing pure breeds or North American mixes (I'm assuming - don't know how accurate that would be either though!). The results just come back as "100% village dog". Waste of money.

Wish I could give 0 stars - they said my dog was not even born before she had puppies. Completely incorrect age as well as 100% pitbull which vets have said is very much unlikely. I think their science is fraudulent and their customer service did not even listen to my request - which clearly laid out why my dog could not possibly be the age they said. They put "18 months" in fine print so really they could guess any age and get away with it. Really excited for them to be in a class action someday. Horrible company.

Tests are not FDA reviewed for veterinary medical products, this is junk science. Ordered an age test - said my dog was 15 years and 6 months. I have photos of her from 17 years ago - she was much older than even the error bounds stated... Doesn't work - DNA methylation is not accurate and should not be marketed as it is. Also results took so long my dog passed away, quite literally, by the time I was supposed to know how old she was. I really hope this company gets shut down.
