We understand how important it is to know your dog's age. It allows you to provide proactive age-appropriate care, anticipate health issues, and give them the best life possible. Judging a dog's age based on visual cues alone can be challenging. That's why we created the Dog Age Test to answer the age old question with the power of science, using the scientific field of epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of how behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect how genes work.
❓ How is Age Test different from Embark's other DNA tests?
DNA Tests analyze your dog’s DNA sequence that was present from birth. Our Age Test analyzes how a dog’s unique life has has impacted the structure of their DNA.
🧬 DNA Tests (Genetics): Relies on genetics. Provides insights such as breed mix, genetic health conditions, and relatives (and more) based on a detailed view of a dog's genome and microarray technology. A dog's genetic code that's present from birth does not change.
🎂 Age Test (Epigenetics): Relies on epigenetics. Provides estimated age based on DNA methylation patterns - a chemical modification that can change how genes work, while not changing the actual genetic code of DNA. As dogs age, the level of DNA methylation changes in a predictable way and we use that analysis as a "clock".
