Embarked
My Puppy has been embarked. What does that mean?
A dog’s health isn’t solely a product of genetics, but of diet, environment, and lifestyle. Embark testing gives your dog the best of everything. Decode breed mix, screen for health conditions, find relatives — all this and more.
For example, did you know some dogs have a genetic mutation that makes them sensitive to many commonly used drugs, including some anesthetics? Drug-sensitive dogs can experience symptoms ranging from diarrhea, lethargy, seizures — even a coma. With Embark, you’ll know if your dog has drug sensitivities so you can avoid potentially dangerous medications.
