My dog passed away. How do I update my dog's profile after they died?

We are deeply sorry for your loss. At Embark, we know that a dog becomes an essential part of your family.

You can update your account to reflect this or we can do it at your request. You can choose to end, reduce, or continue receiving profile notifications such as new relatives or health survey updates.

To change your Embark account to reflect a deceased dog:

1. Log in to your Embark account and click on your dog’s profile.
2. Click Edit Profile button located on the dog's profile card.
3. On the Edit Profile page, scroll down to Actions.
4. Next to Has Your Dog Passed Away click Edit.
5. In that section, you can make a selection and enter the following:
   
   • The cause of death and date.
     • Please note: It is a personal choice and entirely optional to enter any of this information. We are grateful for any details you feel comfortable providing us and this data contributes to our research toward scientific discoveries.
   • (Optional) Opt-out of further notifications about your dog’s profile and results. To unsubscribe from promotional and marketing emails from Embark, please click here.
