Embark
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I used Embark on my two rescues.
- Embark is most reputable/reliable.
- Embark is top with wisdom is close behind. They are really the best to consider.
- Embark. The health results are well worth it.
- Embark. Order it on Chewy.com and use code SAVE30 :) got mine for almost half the price
Cons
- Parent context: Her site shows embark and says DNA and health testing. I don’t think she does OFA. Reply: What kind of dna health testing, specifically? This can give you clues as to whether she's legit.
- But Embark says my Boxer mix is 95% Boxer. I actually met both her parents. Her dad was a Boxer but her mom was a mixed breed who looked nothing like a Boxer.
- Embark told me that my likely cojack (corgi/jack russell) was 1/2 jack russell, 1/3 newfoundland, and the rest was cattle dog. However, the corgi is the most obvious part--and there is nothing to indicate newfoundland.
- Everyone will recommend Embark but I actually prefer Wisdom. I tested 2 dogs with both tests. Embark was not accurate at all for me. I was really upset and even tried reaching out to the company and they blew me off.

I used Embark. It was fun, easy and quick!
I used Embark. It is considered the best. It has the largest database and tests more markers. Also better if you want to see your dog's relatives.
