How is Age Test different from Embark’s other DNA tests?

DNA Tests analyze your dog’s DNA sequence that was present from birth. Our Age Test analyzes how a dog’s unique life has impacted the structure of their DNA.

Do I need to swab my dog again if I’ve already used an Embark DNA test?

Yes. Age Test follows a different process in the lab and we can’t use the same swab for Age Test and our other DNA tests. Each test is run separately and requires its own swab.

Why is the turnaround time for the Age Test longer than Embark’s other DNA tests?

Age Test involves a special processing step during DNA extraction that allows us to measure methylation. This step requires additional time, making the turnaround time slightly longer than that of our other DNA tests.

How do I return my dog's sample?

If you're located in the US, use the enclosed envelope and prepaid return label to ship your sample back to us.
