You might stock up on all of the best dog food and top-of-the-line protection systems for your pup, but how much do you really know about their overall health and breed mix? Well, you can learn all there is to know about your furry family member thanks to Embark's dog DNA breed+health test (was $199, now $139), which you can snag for $60 off during the brand's holiday sale—which also includes discounts on other tests, like this one that can closely estimate your dog's age.

Embark's dog DNA breed+health test assesses for breed breakdown, ancestry and geographic origin, canine relatives and general health. With these results, you'll also get support from genetic specialists, personalized recommendations, trait insights and more. According to shoppers, the process (which simply requires you to swab your dog's mouth, activate your kit online and mail it in) is super easy, and the results are incredibly in-depth.

One reviewer shared, "Very fun and eye-opening. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about their dogs," while another writes, "We love the breed and health kits; we’ve ordered them for three dogs so far. The latest one was especially fun since we had no idea what our new high energy rescue pup was. The breed information turned out to explain a lot about her behavior! It is also really useful to see the warning flags about genes that might cause health problems."

Considering how much info you can get following a practically effortless process, I'd say it's totally worth grabbing a test for your own pup (or for the dog owner in your life)—especially while you can save $60 on it.

While you're at it, you might also want to snag the dog age test while it's marked down to just $119. This one's made to estimate your pup's age and birthday, which every pet parent knows is important to celebrate with new toys and bags of their favorite treats.
