User questions & answers

Question:	Does it test for SOD1 in degenerative myelopathy
Answer:	I went over my dog’s report and reviewed the many genetic factors that are tested. DM is listed as being tested for but there is no mention of SOD1 in the description. If it is found present there would almost surely be a more detailed explanation of the results.
Question:	can I use dog hair for testing
Answer:	I don't think dog hair can be used as they gather the saliva from inside the check, which my dog thought was a fun game
Question:	Does one kit test just one dog
Answer:	Yes, one kit one dog.
Question:	Is this good for mixed breeds
Answer:	Yes! The reason I bought it is because no-one could figure out what our little mutt was made of. We had so many different opinions. Most common opinion was cocker/yorkie mix.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it identify black mouth cur even though not recognized by AKC
Answer:	They have a long list. You can try the website to see if they tell you the breeds they can detect.
Question:	During the covid-19 pandemic how long will it take to get my results back
Answer:	Wisdom Panel is experiencing no delays in sample processing due to Covid-19. Once the sample is checked in at the lab you can expect results in roughly 2-3 weeks.
Question:	How many test strips come in the package
Answer:	There are two and they are not really test strips. They are like a little brush type swab and both have to be used on the same dog. Using both strips helps to get enough cells to get a DNA. Not crazy over Wisdom Panel. This is the first time we tried Wisdom Panel. We usually use Embark.
Question:	What are the differences for all wisdom productes
Answer:	3.0 can detect purebred ancestors present in the first 3 generations and will give your dog’s MDR1 status (Multi-Drug Sensitivity); the Wisdom Panel Health test will do both of those things as well as providing results for 150+ disease causing mutations and a genetic trait analysis.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this tell me if my goldendoodle will shed
Answer:	Unsure if will be able to provide this answer since it was not part of the report I received for my huskies.
Question:	how do i collect the dog's saliva
Answer:	Hi there! You should swab for 30-60 seconds in the lower cheek pouch area of your dog's mouth. We recommend showing your pup a treat beforehand (but not letting them eat it prior to swabbing) to get their mouth nice and slobbery. Each kit will also come with instructions (and there is a video on our website as well)!
Question:	Is this 2 pack DNA test for two different dogs or just one dog
Answer:	2 separate dog packs for 2 different dogs
Question:	Does this test kit include asian breeds? we adopted a rescue dog from taiwan that is believed to be a lab/fmd
Answer:	Don't hesitate to ask the very helpful staff at Embark but I'm all but certain the answer will be "yes." From their site: "The Embark Dog DNA Test Kit tests for over 250 dog breeds, even wolf, coyote, and village dog ancestry. Together these breeds cover over 98% of canines in America." -- Scott

User questions & answers

Question:	How many breeds are included in your database? Thank you
Answer:	Hello Karen, we test for over 150 breeds - and even wolf, coyote, and village dog ancestry - together these breeds cover over 98% of dogs in America. This is the only test that can test for village dogs, and we can distinguish where village dogs come from! For more information see the full list of breeds that we test for here: https://embarkvet.com/breedlist. You can learn more about our breed and ancestry test on the Breed & Ancestry page: https://embarkvet.com/ancestry. Hope this helps!
Question:	How long does it take to get the results back
Answer:	I purchased the kit on Black Friday 2019 sale. It took 16 days from mailing to receive all test results. I was expecting longer than the estimated 3-4 weeks due to the presumably increased sales during the holidays. Here is my timeline: Mailed the sample on 12/5. Delivered to Embark 12/10. Sample sent to lab on 12/17. Received health results on 12/20. Received breed, traits, and relatives on 12/21.
Question:	Has anyone compared results to wisdom panel? i am having a tough time trusting our wp results since they seem way off
Answer:	Yes I have! We have 2 rescue dogs, and We 100% definitively know the ancestry of one of our rescues but not the other. Our older rescue, Lily, is a Doberman-Lab (maternal doberman, paternal lab-retriever). Our other rescue is a mixed bag of cuteness--all we know for sure if she has some husky and some border collie. That being said, I wanted to compare Wisdom Panel and Embark, and since we knew what one of our furbabies is a doberman-lab, we thought she would be a great control for this experiment! I ordered Wisdom panel first (bc of its great reviews and more appealing price) and I was completely appalled and disappointed at the results for our doberman-lab. Her results came back as Alaskan Malamute + Poodle. I actually called to see if they mixed up her results with someone else's but customer service told me that it was impossible to do so lol! I loved Embark's results, and they actually tested her pretty accurately--It came back as Doberman-Lab Retreiver-Rottie (Rottie being minimal). I love the health results, they are so much more detailed compared to Wisdom Panel results and its worth the extra cost. As for our other mixed rescue dog, Wisdom Panel came back with a mix of 8 breeds and 20% 'undefined'. I was pretty disappointed with that and our results for her Embark test are pending.I did post to the Embark facebook group, as other ppl have, and many people have done a similar experiment between the 2 companies. It seems to be overwhelmingly pro-Embark, but I can understand that the price may be a turnoff. In my opinion, the price is worth it for embark, especially if you have health concerns.
Question:	I was interested in getting this for my dog, how is the embark test different from other dog dna tests
Answer:	Hello Anna, glad to hear you are thinking of testing your dog! A detailed comparison can be found here: https://embarkvet.com/dogdnatestcomparison. The Embark test is the only comprehensive test on the market, providing you results for over 160 genetic health conditions, the most accurate breed identification scientifically possible (based on more than 100 times as much genetic information as other tests), and so much more, all packaged to make it easy for you to understand, share, and use to improve your dog's health!

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone gotten a health test back that actually said your dog was at risk of some disease
Answer:	you'd have to ask them if ANYONE has, I did not.
Question:	Does this also include screening for mdr1 and eic
Answer:	Indeed it does! It also includes screening for an additional 150+ genetic health mutations. All in all it covers about 13 different body systems. You can view the entire list of diseases and systems they affect by visiting WIsdomPanel.com and under "How it Works" you will find "Genetic Health Screening". Hope this helps. Juli @ Wisdom Panel
Question:	I tried wisdom panel when my dog was a puppy but some things came back inconclusive. Would it be beneficial to try it again now that she is an adult
Answer:	Great question! By inconclusive I can assume you mean that there were portions of the ancestry that were mixed beyond the third generation so you had some portion of "Mixed Breed"; we are able to detect purebred ancestry present in the most recent 3 generations (to the great grandparent level) and many dogs will have some percentage of their ancestry that is mixed beyond those 3. That said, the technology has improved tremendously in the last 4 years and our database of purebred dogs is considerably larger than it once was; so if your dog's test was performed more than 4 years ago there is a possibility that the updated technology may be able to uncover a bit more. If you aren't sure of when your test was run, give us a call and we can look it up! Michelle @ Wisdom Health
Question:	What should I do if my test results came back and they’re not correct
Answer:	I would contact customer service.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it tell exactly what breed my mixed breed dog is composed of
Answer:	This test will tell you the breed or breeds in your dog plus the Genetic Age of your dog. If you don't want the Genetic Age you can order a regular DNA MY Dog breed test. This does the same thing as that test with the addition of genetic age. Thank you.
Question:	What does genetic age mean? Is it the same as physical age or something different
Answer:	The genetic age is the physical age vs the chronological age. So you may be 40 years old chronologically and if you are relatively healthy your genetic age would be about 40. Many dogs will report very close to their chronological age. If they have disease or a lot of physical stress they may report older.
Question:	You have to upload a picture? that seems sketchy that you’ll guess my dogs breeds based on looks and not dna. can i do this without uploading a photo
Answer:	You may be mixing us up with another company. We do not, nor have we ever, required a photo. You can send one or not, it is up to you. And if you want one you can also send it AFTER you get results and we will add it and re-send the results with the photo. We do not require one.
Question:	Does this give percentages of each breed? Or just list top three
Answer:	Hi there, The test will report all of the breeds, whether it be 1 or 10, that are in the dog's DNA. Thanks.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this test prove a purebred
Answer:	No. This test is designed for Mixed Breed. Wisdom has a separate test kit that is specifically designed for Purebred. I did some research and several studies found that submitting the same DNA with different Wisdom tests comes back with slightly varying results. Purebred DNA with this test will come back with mixed breed results. i.e. 95% German Sheppard, 5% Poodle, even though your pedigree proves it's a purebred German Sheppard. If you really think you have a purebred, use the Wisdom purebred test. Don't take my word for it, do the research.
Question:	Does anyone know if the results from this kit will help me get past restricted breed nazis and move to a different apartment? My Mutt looks like a Rotty
Answer:	I was able to use a combination of a DNA test and photo of my dog to get past rental restrictions. The DNA test showed 30% Pit Bull (2 breeds - Staffordshire and Bulldog) and 30% Cocker Spaniel with some Golden Retriever and Papillon making up the rest. Might not work for everyone and my dog doesn't look like a pit unless you look close (face/forehead only...body is very not-pit bull). But in my case it helped. Sometimes even just indicating that you have a DNA test showing your dog is not a restricted breed or small percentage is enough to get you past the obstacle.
Question:	I received my Wisdom Panel 2.0 and it appeared brand new, however when I opened it,one of the three lot code labels is missing. Is this standard
Answer:	I couldn't answer if that's standard...I would think it's up to the Co to determine if that's a sign of being tampered with. U certainly don't need a 3rd sticker as long as you have the code, which the Co includes when they email that they've received your sample, too! Good luck:-)I was not thrilled with my mixed breed result (as I suspected would happen). I immediately rejected 1 of the breed results, but I learned a lot from 1 of the dominant breed answers & after speaking to a rep, was able to better understand the results & could sort of see how the breed I rejected could come into play with my true mutt! Overall, I was very glad I did it & very happy with the Co's follow up, explanations & information - as an extra FYI, lol!
Question:	How many breeds are in your database? My dog is from Japan so I was wondering if you had those breeds in your system
Answer:	I did this with our “oki mutt” from Japan 6 years ago and the results were accurate. Be prepared to see shiba inu in the mix since almost all of them have some part of the Japanese dog range (from Akita to small Shibas)
