I was happy initially, I was given about 7-9 trace breeds with my dogs along with Korean village dog which I already knew. They suddenly deleted all these breeds from my dogs profile and replaced with 100% Korean village dog which I know is not true, my dogs look like their trace breeds. I tried reaching out and customer support only says that this is better. Huge waste of 300$. Why would they not send a paper copy or even an email with the actual results. I trusted this site that I would be able to click the link and follow it since that’a how they have been marketing it. I feel scammed

Absolutely worthless. My dog is a doberman. They sent me, after a month and $149, a list of 3 commonly known conditions that Dobermans are prone to later in life noting his risk as "elevated." Really, no kidding. The department of the obvious has this important news bulletin for you: the sky is blue.

The DNA test was fine, I got the Heath + Breed one (the premium one). Results were reasonable. HOWEVER... Embark said that i would receive a FREE Fi GPS collar with my purchase. There was no reference to any extra fees or such on the page. They sent me a coupon code for the free collar shortly after purchasing their kit. The email said that the code expired on 7/31/2025, when i purchased the DNA kit on 8/18/2025. I contacted Embark and they said the coupon code is valid through 12/31/2025 despite the email date. Also, in order to redeem my free Fi GPS collar, the email says I need to pay a $20 activation fee and purchase the 6 month plan! None of this was stated upfront before my purchase with Embark. The lack of transparency is concerning from such a massive company. And the DNA results had over 10% of "Unknown", which is too large of an amount to be questioned, considering we are paying a lot of money to find out specifically which breeds the dog is. Wisdom Panel premium is much more transparent and straightforward.

I bought the over-priced embark dog dna test from chewy with a coupon. I was careful to avoid telling them anything breed related about my dog, no photos, I just wanted to see if it was real. 20 years ago a similar company existed in Knoxville, TN and lost their lawsuit and I got a class action settlement when that group were not even close on the dogs I had at that time. My embark dog is very obviously a Rottweiler mix and every vet and the shelter I adopted her from identify her as such. A white blaze on her chest and white hind quarter toes and hound shaped snout suggest a large breed hound. Otherwise at first glance she shouts and behaves like a Rotty. Embark came back with Pit Bull (not Staffordshire terrier) and Labrador; not even close!

We sent our swab back on the 2nd July, we have now been waiting 2 months for the results!

We have a beagle, possibly pure, most likely mixed, we did the dna and they sent us some other dogs results that said Chihuahua and Poodle. 100% these are the wrong results. Waited two weeks. I called and they do not take incoming calls. I can only email them and wait 1 to 3 days. Not happy.

Beware! I sent off my sample for my dog and the test apparently had an issue. They said they would send me another kit to redo the sample and it never arrived. When i contacted them about it they said i would need to pay $25. Total scam in my opinion!

I had a very good process doing a DNA test for my boy. Process including creating account, ordering a kit, shopping it back and analysing the report was all very smooth. Very good email communication from embark team regarding any of my queries. Overall very very satisfied
