Our take
Embark provides DNA testing for dogs, offering test kits to dog owners, breeders, and veterinarians to help them understand the specific health needs of each dog. The company also provides health kits that facilitate screening for over 215 potential conditions, with any findings being sent directly to the dog's vet.
Whilst the company will face competition from other dog DNA test providers such as Wisdom Panel, Embark shows potential to compete in the market with its broad focus on discovering breeds, screening dogs for health issues, and helping customers locate their dog's relatives. There is a huge opportunity in the market, with the US spending on pets reaching $123.6 billion in 2021.
The company has seen huge growth in the last few years and attracted considerable investment. Setting out to be the standard care for dog owners and vets, Embark will be focusing on expanding its database and team.
