PC Mag sent the same mixed-breed dog's DNA in under different (humans' and dogs') names to test the services' accuracy.
Summary: Wisdom Panel and Embark are accurate, or at least, consistent, between their own tests and each other. DNA My Dog was kind of all over the place.
I chose Embark because they provide a lot more technical data in regards to the DNA health screening and I'm into that sort of thing. They also provide you with the option of allowing your dog's DNA to contribute to scientific research. FWIW, their testing swab also comes with a return vial w/ stabilizing fluid, while the others just ship back in a dry envelope.

I looked on the Chewy webpage and it appears Wisdom tests for 350 breeds with their $64 test kit which is similar to Embark. This test might be worthwhile, anyone have experience using the Wisdom test kit on a dog which has a mix of some less popular breeds?
As for the DNA my dog breed test for $46, this one seems very sketchy. Someone asked Chewy how many breeds are in their database and they completely avoided the question and just stated they have the most popular breeds. But I googled it and found what Chewy does not wish to share, and that is they only test for 98 specific breeds. So if you dog has a mix including one of the 250+ breeds that this test does not include then your results will be wrong and they will assign another one of their 98 breeds that they do test for in place of the breed that they do not have in their database. This cheap test only tests for less than 1/3 of all the dog breeds that are in the higher quality tests!

Example, albeit a somewhat cruddy one, shultzhounds (including German shepherds) are predispositioned genetically to suffer from hip dysplasia. There are over the counter supplements that help to delay onset or lessen impact. An owner who learns their dog is of this family can begin a regiment of care for their animal to help prevent or delay the future onset. Without genetic testing, they would not know to begin preventative care, and would only be able to react once symptoms begin.

Got two, one for what I have been assuming has been a pitty/red healer mix and an equally assumed staffy/boxer mix.
I'm broke but they are getting old and I regretted not getting some details on my last pair and this is a good deal.

Also, my son just adopted a dog from the shelter and he wants this for Christmas.
Lastly, this is Slickdeals. If I can get a better deal, why not?
