13 best cat breed identification test

Product description

The Basepaws Cat DNA Test helps cat owners learn about their cat's breed, health, traits, and habits - all with just a bit of DNA, collected at home. Is your cat a Western Maine Coon? An Eastern Burmese? Or a perfectly adorable polycat? Using our world-class database of feline genetics, Basepaws can estimate your tabby’s origins to more than 17 breed types and four breed regions. Your cat’s DNA will be able to say so many of the things they can’t. Using the latest science we can show if your cat has any health risks in their genes. We have manually curated health markers for every sample we have sequenced and can recognize 40+ markers representing 17 genetic diseases including: Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), Retinal degeneration, Hypothyroidism. You’ll find out if your cat is a Tiger, Cheetah, or maybe even a Lion when we compare your cat’s DNA with the 37 common cat species. It’s may explain your kitten’s roar-like meow. When you join Basepaws, you are joining a community that is constantly evolving. Our database grows larger on a daily basis, so when we have updates for your cat’s report, we send you updates. "Like any overly attached, co-dependent pet parent, I'd like to understand my cat in every way: intellectually, emotionally, spiritually-and even on a cellular level. The first three are always going to be somewhat elusive, but it's 2019, the future is now, and I've found a company to help me with the fourth." - Caitlin Schneider

User questions & answers

Question:	How long do you let the swabs "dry" before putting them in the sleeve to mail
Answer:	I used the little places in the sleeve to let them dry and I let them dry about an hour. The put them into the sleeve, unsealed and sent the whole thing back. I got got good results on all specimens
Question:	Can you do this DNA test on a puppy or is it better to wait until the dog is full grown
Answer:	Actually you should wait at least until the puppy is no longer nursing on the mom. That Can skew the results.
Question:	Will it provide results for mixed beeeds
Answer:	One of my puppies results came back with 12.5% “breed groups”. If you want those specific breeds, they charge an additional $89. Says results in a couple days, I got them in a few seconds. So they obviously already had that info ready. Deceptive advertising to play with the results that way...
Question:	Will the test identify chubacabra dna
Answer:	Yes! The test results showed that my dog had 20% chupacabra DNA but it could be that my dog ate a chupacabra. I’m not 110% sure

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:	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. Test showed she is 50% small poodle, 16% Shih Tsu and 13% Lhasa apso. Also indicated that she had no genetic issues re: health.

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:	There are two swabs that come with the kit, so can we test two dogs at the same time or do two separate kits need to be purchased
Answer:	You will need a separate kit for each dog. The two swabs are to insure that a good sample is taken. We tested our two dogs using separate kits and were very happy with the results!
Question:	Does this test cover wolf
Answer:	The test does not cover wolf detection. Get a different test.
Question:	My dog just died, would it work to rehydrate his saliva in his water bowl and swab from there
Answer:	Sorry for your loss. I don't think this answer will help you now since it has been about 11 weeks since your original question and I'm not sure if the saliva DNA is still good after that long, But hopefully this may help someone else who has the same question about their deceased dog. On the DNAmydog.com website they now have a DNA test for deceased dogs for $157. They need anything that the dog chewed on or had oral contact with. chew toys, (unwashed) blankets they chewed on, toothbrush, etc.. Here's the link : http://dnamydog.com/dna-deceased-dogs.php You may want to call them (416-691-4160) just to be sure you can't still send them something and get some results.
Question:	How quickly do you get the results
Answer:	I submitted the sample on 4.29 and received the results 5.19. My puppy was a rescue, and on our first visit to the vet she guessed he was 8 weeks old and an Akita /Australian Shepherd mix. The Mars test confirmed that he was a first generation cross of those two breeds, so kudos to my vet! (Boo to the sociopath that left my perfect and gorgeous puppy in a dumpster.)

User questions & answers

Question:	Are people still having problems with them being stuck together and dry
Answer:	The same thing happened to me. My initial bag was good, the chews were moist, chewy, not stuck together. The second bag I got in March 2018 were dry, hard, crumbly and a different color. I called customer service and they sent out another bag and I got it the next day. This one was better, but not as good as the first bag. These were clumped together, kind of hard, but at least better than the 2nd bag. I keep them in a lock and lock container. I almost afraid to get another bag and the price has jumped significantly.
Question:	Is there an independent medical study proving the benefits of this product? Heard a doctor last week saying glucosamine etc are a waste of money on humans
Answer:	Focus more on the ingredients. Here is a good meta-analysis that gives an overview of what the research says about various ingredients (see Figure 1): https://academic.oup.com/rheumatology/article/57/suppl_4/iv75/4916021. But whether is it OA or RA might make a difference too.
Question:	what is the difference between regular Dasuquin chews and those with MSM
Answer:	MSM is an additional joint supplement. Some people even use MSM on it's own. I worked with show horses and race horses for ten years and we used a similar injectable equine version of Dasuquin that goes by a different name as well as an additional MSM supplement as at the time we were unaware of a combination formula. Basically two supplements in one. Hope this helps.
Question:	Are these vegan
Answer:	Your dog isn't a vegan.

Have you talked to your vet?

When you notice any changes in your dog’s health, the first step should be talking to your veterinarian. Your vet may recommend using our patented, scientifically researched Dasuquin Joint Health Supplements to help support your dog’s joints and maintain his quality of life.

Does he struggle to get up to snuggle?

If you notice that your dog does not get up as easily, is reluctant to climb stairs or hesitates to jump on the couch, these may be signs of joint issues. These issues can make daily life just a bit harder for your dog. Dasuquin Joint Health Supplements help support cartilage structure and function by inhibiting the enzymes that break down cartilage, which may help make everyday activities easier.

Are long walks getting shorter?

Dogs of all ages with joint issues may not want to walk, run, or play as much as they used to do. Even at younger ages, some dogs are subject to joint health concerns that may affect agility and movement. Dasuquin Joint Health Supplements are enhanced with a proprietary blend of ingredients to help support your dog’s joint health every day.
