Wisdom Panel
Coming in at #2 is Wisdom Panel, another high-quality dog DNA test kit. Wisdom Panel was born out of Mars Petcare and offers two dog DNA kits: Wisdom Panel Essential and Wisdom Panel Premium. Wisdom Panel Essential is a basic breakdown of breed composition and 25 “must-know” potential gene mutations such as MDR1 (multi-drug resistance) and Wisdom Panel Premium is a more extensive breakdown of breed composition and health insights.
Similar to Embark, Wisdom Panel tests for over 210 genetic health risks and 350 breeds making it a fairly extensive database. Wisdom Panel’s internal testing has revealed that its breed results are 93% accurate for mixed breeds, yielding reliable results. Your pup’s results are delivered via email where you can view your results on an easy-to-understand web page. Though medical testing is included in Wisdom Panel Premium, Embark’s medical testing remains unmatched, which is why Wisdom Panel wins second place.
