You may think you might know everything about Fidos life, especially if you raised him from a fur babybut that little rascal has plenty of mysteries hidden in his family tree. For instance, what breeds were his parents and grandparents? Is your pup really a purebred, or is she a mix? And the question every owner of a rescue pet is tired of hearing: what exactly is your dog a mix of?

Dog DNA kits are designed to help answer those burning questions and pinpoint your poochs originsjust like the kits designed for humans. Knowing more about your pups background is not only interesting, but it can help you better navigate current or future behavioral or health issues.

Right now, Chewy has a slew of pet DNA kits on sale. From basic ancestry to health profiles, these tests really run the gamut and thankfully, you wont have to pay full price for them.

Embark tests for over 250 dog breeds including wolf, coyote and village dog ancestry. It also helps trace your pup's family tree back to great grandparents and connects you to other relatives that share similar DNA. However, the standout feature of this test is the comprehensive genetic testing for over 170 genetic health conditions.

This is by far the most accurate breed and health testing for dogs, one vet shares. I am a veterinarian and have had access to results by many of the companies out there - this is the one I will always recommend to my clients.

All the DNA My Dog kit requires is a simple, painless at-home cheek swab using the included sterile cotton applicator to determine your dog's complete breed and ancestry. Mail in the sample, and you'll receive a detailed report in two weeks or less listing specifics for every breed in your pets genetic profile, including a percentage breakdown of the levels found in your dogs DNA.

I loved this experience!!! The kit came immediately with great instructions, one happy shopper shared. To find out his DNA has been the coolest experience! The description of the levels was most helpful. SO GLAD I DID THIS!! Never ever would have dreamed these breeds! It explains a lot. And the greatest part is that this Italian girl just discovered her dog is Italian!! As in Italian Greyhound. Love it!

The Wisdom Panel test can detect over 250 dog breeds, including 99 percent of American Kennel Club-recognized breeds. If youre testing a puppy, the test will determine how much he or she will weigh as an adult. It takes two to three weeks to see results after mailing your pups cheek swab to the lab.

We were very happy with the results, a happy shopper shared. The results were spot on! The tests were done very quickly and very accurately. One of our dogs has the MDR1, so THANK YOU for informing us. Very happy.
