What if my dog tests positive for an incurable disease?

We are here to help and offer any resources we can - just ask

Embark can give you scientifically validated genetic insights about your dog. Some of the diseases we test for are incurable at this time. However, some can be managed medically. Others have been shown to have longer disease-free intervals if caught and managed early.

Remember that Embark tests your dog's DNA: We cannot evaluate your dog clinically. Our results should never be considered as a clinical diagnosis. If your dog does test positive for a health risk mutation, we strongly encourage you to contact your veterinarian. You and your vet are more than welcome to contact Embark's support team so that we can help you interpret these results and give you any additional information that you can take into account.
