A healthier gut

  • Kim L.

    The Gut Biome test is very comprehensive and really impressive! My dog showed some high bad bacteria, and low good bacteria. She had intermittent vomiting and rare occasional bloody diarrhea, along with bad breath, low energy, frequent nausea and poor appetite. The first round of Gut Restore pills did improve her health, along with a change of diet, and supplements.

  • Teresa L.

    Just for the educational value of the report alone I felt it was worth my money. I have purchased two more kits to test the other dog and re-test the one I tested already.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to take an oral sample from my dog?

The best time to collect a sample is first thing in the morning, before feeding your dog. Food particles can contaminate the sample and make the results less accurate.

How do I register my sample?

Go to embarkvet.com/activate to sign in or create an account and complete your dogโ€™s profile. Activate the kit, using the six-character ID code printed on the tubes. Please note that your sample must be registered in order for our scientists to complete the analysis.

Is my sample safe in the mail?

Yes, your sample is safe. The sample tubes contain a special liquid that keeps the bacteria perfectly preserved for analysis, across a very wide range of temperatures. Once inside the tube, the sample is stable for several months.

About Embarkย A different kind of dog DNA company

Not all dog DNA tests are created equal - and neither are the companies that make them. While some of of Embarkโ€™s competitors are part of big conglomerates, Embark is a startup founded by dog-loving scientists and veterinarians. They only focus on one thing: canine health.

Their founders, Ryan and Adam Boyko, spent years traveling the world and swabbing dogs in remote areas of Europe, Asia, and South America. But they knew there was more they could do to support all dogs.
