Amazon has two of Embark’s dog DNA test kits on sale for up to 32% off through Nov. 12:
America has gone to the dogs this year — no, literally. The Washington Post reported in August that the first half of 2020 was a boom time for dog adoptions and sales in the U.S., with breeders, pet stores, rescues, and shelters alike all struggling to keep up with demand as people sought out furry friends amid pandemic lockdowns.
If you’ve recently adopted a good boy/girl who’s a little on the mutt-y side, have we got the deal for you: until midnight on Nov. 12, Amazon has two highly rated Embark dog DNA test kits on sale at their Black Friday prices as one of its “Epic Daily Deals.” (Note that the same pricing is also live on Embark’s website today, but you won’t have to enter a coupon code at checkout if you buy through Amazon.)
Our top pick among dog DNA tests, Embark’s kits involve little more than a simple cheek swab from Fido, which you then mail in for screening. Here’s the scoop:
Embark’s most basic DNA kit tests for over 350 breeds using a research-grade genotyping platform developed in partnership with the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. (Translation: It’s super accurate.) Once your pup’s results come back — usually within three to five weeks — you’ll receive free access to an online Canine Relative Finder as well as a detailed breakdown of their family tree.
Normally $129, you can order one on Amazon today for just $96.75 — a 25% savings.
For about $40 more, you can upgrade to Embark’s more advanced Breed + Health Kit. Along with ancestry results, it includes a comprehensive look at your dog’s genetic health based on testing for more than 190 conditions (including drug sensitivity) and over 20 physical traits.
This one usually retails for $199, but Amazon has it on sale today for only $135 — a 32% savings.
