Wisdom Panel Premium

The best DNA kit on the market gives breeds, genetic markers, and more. It's even more worth it if you can find it on sale! I got my puppy's results, no genetic health markers, and he's 100% sheltie! It even showed relatives of my puppy who were also tested.

I struggled to choose between this and embarq. I ultimately went with wisdom due to pricing and reviews. Set up was easy, website is straightforward. I did NOT include pictures of my dog because I wanted to see what their "traits and characteristics" would look like with no input from pictures. So, the sample came back with results within 5 weeks. I was happy with the quick turnaround. We had rescued a dog and he looked like a min pin but definitely bigger so we knew a mix. I'm thoroughly impressed with the results. We were shocked at the different breeds and percentages but they nailed the traits with no hints. I've included pics to show what he looks like and some of their predictions. Pretty spot on. Their testing is accurate with markings, coat type, and breed traits. He's definitely a terrier through and through. Overall, I would recommend.

I have been using Wisdom Panel tests for many years for all my dogs. This updated version now includes several more health traits as well as behavior traits. It gives me a wonderful insight in what to expect from my new puppy as well as any health issues to look out for. Testing is easy and results were received within 2 weeks.

Wisdom Panel was very easy to use. Received panel back 16 days later. Very informative. Breeds that don’t show at all in my Frankie’s face were top 2. I would suggest this DNA test kit to anyone asking me.

I’m really happy with the Wisdom Panel Premium Dog DNA Kit. It provides detailed insights, including breed identification, health tests, traits, and even relatives. The results were clear and easy to understand, giving me a great picture of my dog’s ancestry and health. A fantastic tool for any rescue dog owner wanting to learn more about their furry friend’s genetics!

I purchased the "Premium" version for my elderly companion. First things first: The swabs are "bristle" style with needle-sharp pointed wire tips; this makes collection difficult and unnecessarily painful for dogs with small mouths. The wire ending kept poking my guy in the gums, no matter how careful or gentle I tried to be. REALLY wish they would use a soft-ended swab-style collector for these kits. That said, WP delivered on its promise to reveal my stray-to-rescue BFF's breed makeup. Results were surprising, and really fun to learn about. Sadly, we did not discover any close relatives. It would have been fun if we had, though! In our case, we didn't learn about any possible medication sensitivities or genetic disease predispositions, as my dog's test says he has none. I bought this test for a senior (appx 14 yrs) dog who has already displayed significant BP medication sensitivities and diagnosed with late Stg 2 kidney disease. These are not necessarily genetic disorders, given his age — at this point, I was just hoping to find an explanation, because he's otherwise in such incredibly good health. In short, I was looking for a "reason" for why my dog is sick now, and somewhere to channel my blame and grief. Turns out, sometimes dogs just get old and sick, and that has nothing to do with genetics. So I didn't get what I set out for with this test, but in a way it has been both interesting and emotionally challenging + healing to have this data. Despite the fact that there is no indication of (genetic!) medication sensitivity or predisposition for disease on this test, I still wish I had done this sooner, and I plan to get an advanced Wisdom Panel done on every dog I ever have from now on—and early! We can't make our dogs immortal (no matter how much we wish we could), and we can't predict the future. But the genetics factor is an important one, and it's one more tool we can stash in our toolkit to understand how best to care for our canine loved ones.

This was my 3rd kit from Wisdom Panel and I could not be more pleased. I had tried another company and it as OK, but what you get in this one's premium kit far surpasses competitors. Not only do they break down related breeds better (ex: American bull terrier and Staffordshire terrier), they also give you a very nice breakdown of the traits in percentages, and tell you summaries of each related breed. This really helped me know which pups I wanted to keep when looking at a recent litter. Health traits are such a helpful feature, too, and now I understand what I should watch for to keep them as healthy as possible. These kits are ideal for dogs that come from a shelter (which mine did) so you at least know what to expect in various behaviors. You can dig into the DNA as deep as you want (which I find fascinating!), so much great data to dig in to. Love this product and highly recommend.

Seems very accurate. Lots of information.
