Why Embark
The essentials that set Embark apart
The kit experience
Embark’s physical kit arrives as a compact box with clear instructions, a cheek-swab tube and prepaid return label. Owners collect a simple saliva sample at home, register the kit online, then drop the sealed tube in the mail—no vet visit required. Packaging is designed for an easy, hygienic collection and secure transport to the lab.
Reports built for action
When the lab processes the sample, Embark delivers an interactive online report covering breed breakdown, ancestry maps and health markers. Results include vet-ready summaries and downloadable data that breeders or clinicians can use for screening, care planning, or research—presented in an approachable dashboard for owners.
