Great product, accurate and great price.
God delivered a dog to my mother. It showed up on a cold rainy day, hiding under my car, while my 2 dogs were growling at something, I looked and seen it. It was skinny, dirty and looked close to death. I put my dogs in kennels and slowly got the dog out from under the car using water and food. I got it inside and it ran under my bed. The next day, my mom came over and the dog ran out to her, and has never left. She was curious to what type of dog he is, so I bought the dog DNA kit. It was easy to use, easy instructions and the results were quick. It even gave the dogs age, the type and so much more information. We guessed close, haha. It’s a great product at a great price and would highly recommend to anyone looking to do a doggie DNA test.

I would recommend this item to others
Very cool Dog DNA test kit. Did my German Shepherd and discovered some interesting genetics from this test kit. It's a real eye opener to what you think your dog is and to find out what they actually are. I would recommend this test kit to any dog owner who is wondering about their dog breed. I found it extremely accurate and easy to use (to get a sample from my dog). The test results were quick and easy to understand.

Quick, Detailed Results
Adopted a dog; physical features seemed a bit off from her alleged breed. Test was easy to do, easy to send off, and, wow, her results were quite a surprise. But, can definitely see the qualities from her genetic mash-up, and appreciate the well-formated presentation of the DNA results. Would definitely recommend to anyone questioning why their toy breed is bulky or why Maltese has wiry coat. Love my girl regardless, but helps to know that she's not breed outlier, just.. a different mix of unique.

Great DNA test for your dog -- highly recommend it. Easy to do with quick results.
I am so impressed with this dog DNA test. I didn't supply any information on my dog when submitting this test, meaning no pictures, etc. I only submitted the two swabs that were needed to do the test. It was extremely easy to do, just follow the simple instructions or watch a video. It didn't take long to receive her results, and we were just so excited to find out about her. We've had her for a long time as we rescued her about 8 years ago and finally just decided to do the test on her. The person that gave her to us didn't really know what she was or how old she was, but we took her anyway. The results of the DNA test were somewhat expected just by her looks, but there were a few results that were surprising. She is a true American Standard, a/k/a mutt. I would recommend this DNA test for anyone who truly wants to know about their canine family and/or health issues that could come up.

Great for getting to know your dog better
Great product, gives very detailed breakdown of ancestry. Main complaint is that you have to set up an account that they will spam you with emails afterwards, and it takes a while for the results to come in, all the while they are trying to upsell you to the next product level.

Easy to use and quick results
We rescued our dog a few weeks before Christmas. We wanted to do a DNA test because the kennel said she was a basset mix. We did the test and got our results within a week.

It works as intended
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five‑Star Review Title: Fascinating, accurate insights into my pup’s DNA — worth every penny! Review: I recently tested my rescue dog with the Wisdom Panel Essential Dog DNA Kit, and I’m thrilled with the results. The at-home cheek-swab collection was easy (they include two swabs), and the kit comes with clear instructions and free USPS return shipping  . Within just three weeks I received a detailed report. What I loved: • Breed breakdown down to 1%—the kit screens for over 365 breeds, which helped clarify some unexpected traits in my dog  . • Health screening—tested for 25+ genetic conditions including MDR1 and IVDD, giving me actionable info to discuss with my vet . • Traits & behavior insights—learned why my dog has that blue eye and a knack for digging . • Relative finder—I discovered several long-lost fur-family cousins through their vast 4+ million pet database . • Online dashboard & vet consult—the portal is intuitive, results arrived fast, and you get a free phone call with a veterinarian if any health flags appear . Accuracy & credibility: Independent reviews rate Wisdom Panel at ~90%+ accuracy for crosses and 98%+ for purebreds . DNA Weekly even named the Essential kit “best overall” in its 2025 roundup . “The results were comprehensive, and it was a good value for its price point.”  A few things to keep in mind: • Like any DNA test, multi-generation mixes and very low-percentage breeds may show lower confidence results . • It doesn’t include maternal/paternal line mapping or expansive health screens — for those, consider the Premium option or Embark’s more detailed kits . ⸻ Bottom line: If you want a clear, engaging, and reliable look at your dog’s ancestry, health markers, traits, and even relatives—all at a great price—the Wisdom Panel Essential Kit is exceptional. Highly recommend!

WISDOM HEALTH ESSENTIAL DOG DNA KIT PROVIDED ESSENTIAL HEALTH INFORMATION and FUN INFO ABOUT BREEDS!
This is a GREAT product to help your veterinarian know more about your dog's health! We recently adopted a "pound puppy". He had some health issues, and that was causing us to "second-guess" his healthcare. But, with the results of this WISDOM Essential DNA KiT, we were able to understand more about his predominant breed and any possibility of ailments specific to these breeds. It was also fun to find out the breeds of our dog. Some of the results were a surprise finding, too! (Some of the results are posted in a photo here.)
