The future of pet care starts with DNA
Know your dog. Love them longer.
Meet the world’s most accurate dog DNA test.
We give modern pet parents the power to care smarter, through precise, DNA-driven insights into your dog’s breed, health, and traits. Because real love starts with personalized care.
? Our story
In 2015, two scientist brothers set out to decode the history and health of dogs. After traveling across 40+ countries and collecting thousands of DNA samples, their mission evolved into Embark: the world’s leading canine genetics company.
? What we do
Think of us as a personal guide to your dog’s health and lifespan. Using DNA as a starting point, we help dog parents, breeders, and veterinarians make smarter, more proactive care decisions—so every dog has the chance to live a longer, healthier life.
⚡️ Why we’re different
We’re more than a DNA test. We’re a trusted partner in lifelong dog care. Built by scientists. Backed by vets. Trusted by millions. Embark turns genetic insights into everyday guidance, giving pet parents the tools to care with confidence.
