Breed is where it starts. Health is why it matters. Most people come to Embark curious about what's in their dog. A lot of them leave knowing something they needed to know — before they needed to know it. Because some of the most important things you can learn about your dog are the things you can’t see yet. See what health testing reveals

Some things are easier to handle when you know about them early. That's the point of genetic health testing. Take MDR1, a genetic variant that causes sensitivity to certain common medications — including some used routinely by vets. Dogs with this variant can have serious reactions to drugs that are completely safe for other dogs. Most owners don't know their dog has it until it's already a problem. Embark screens for it. Along with IVDD risk — a leading cause of sudden paralysis in dogs — and 270+ other genetic health conditions. This isn’t to overwhelm you, but to help you stay one step ahead. Because proactive care isn’t about expecting the worst. It’s about having information early enough to actually use it. See what Embark screens for.

Dozer’s results explained what nobody else could. His family had already spent thousands trying to figure out what was wrong. Dozer’s liver was unusually small, and even with ongoing treatment, his veterinarian still didn’t have clear answers. Then his owner decided to try Embark. His DNA results revealed a genetic risk for copper storage disease — a condition that causes copper to build up in the liver over time. With that information, they switched Dozer to a low-copper diet. His owner says it saved his life. “He’s been healthy ever since. I’m so grateful for Embark. He means the world to me.” Read more customer stories ->
