We collect a DNA sample at Telford Vet with a simple cheek swab. Our team activates your account and sends the DNA sample to the Embark labs. When we receive the results, our genetic specialist on staff will call you to schedule a time for us to personally go over the results with you.
75% of dogs are at risk or a carrier for a genetic disease. Knowledge is key for proactive care. More breeds tested than any other DNA test, with over 350 breeds, types, and varieties. Embark delivers the most accurate results and is the highest-rated dog DNA test.
Discover The Breeds In Your Dog
Embark uses over 200,000 unique genetic markers to identify the breed composition of any dog, from the youngest pup to your oldest companion.
Learn About Specific Breed Health
Some breeds are more prone to certain genetic diseases than others, so it’s vital to understand how your dog’s genetic makeup can contribute to lifelong health. Embark helps you stay prepared through continuous updates and research that goes directly to your results page. Embark can also give you an estimate of puppy’s future adult weight and uncover your dog’s genetic age so you can understand how your dog will actually grow.
Develop A Personalized Care Plan With The Vet
The testing checks over 210 genetic diseases to give you and your vet the power to prepare for—and even prevent—illnesses before they strike. The Embark team of scientists review each dog’s health findings by hand to make sure they can stand by 100% of their results. If a dog does test positive for a condition, the TVH Vets will work alongside Embark to come up with the best treatment plan moving forward.
