The Science & The Soul
The Science
With every DNA test performed, Embark adds information to its data banks about a specific dog breed. Adam and Ryan Bokyo spent twelve years developing their genetic testing, based on over 200,000 genetic markers and proprietary algorithms. With the help of breeders, veterinarians, and information donors, Embark has developed into an incredible web of information. Today this comprehensive map allows for complete genetic health evaluations for any and all breeds.
The Soul
Keeping their pet healthy is of paramount importance to any dog owner. When diseases like cancer or hip dysplasia strike, it can be devastating not only to the dog but their family as well. Thanks to Embark, we no longer have to wait until our dogs are sick to take action. A genetic health evaluation allows us to take proactive steps, whether it be regular vet appointments or changing diet or vitamins. Hopefully, with the help of Embark, preventable dog diseases will soon be a thing of the past.
